Directions by car:

It is sometimes the case that the postcode for theNewton Park campus (BA2 9BN) does not provide helpful instructions to users of SatNav systems for the final part of their journey.

We therefore suggest that instead you use the postcode for another local landmark that is very close to the campus – the Globe Inn (on a roundabout at the A4/A39 junction, from which Bath Spa University is clearly marked).  The postcode for the Globe Inn is BA2 9BB
