Lovely location but only rakes around 30 to 40 minutes to walk round
You have to park away in nearby roads
Walk has steep and uneven parts so not suitable if you have mobility issues

This is a well kept historical site. A nice 30 mins walk.
The Palladian Bridge is built by
Jones who also the architect of the Gothic Temple, also built the famous Palladian Bridge. The bridge was the third of a series of bridges built in England at the time around 1775 the others being at Stowe and Wilton. Today it is only one of four left in the world nad it is beautiful

Amazing place. We enjoyed the walk all around the park and it made the arrival to the bridge even more beautiful! Please note you can't park on the premises except if you need accessible parking space. We then parked on the street located along the top of prior park which is free and only 7 min walk away from the entrance.
The Palladian Bridge is the main architectural feature in the lovely Priory Park landscape gardens....The park itself was designed by Capability Brown and Alexander Pope in the 18th century....The bridge was designed and constructed under the management of Richard Jones and was copied from the Andrea Polladio design in Bassano Italy....It separates and crosses between the two lower lakes of the gardens....At the moment the park is being completely renovated by the National Trust who now manages this lovely Park and Gardens.....👍
Well worth the walk if you're visiting Bath, the Palladian Bridge is in viewing distance of the collage, but you have to stand on it to experience it. There are amazing scribing on the walls from hundreds of years ago, from visitor marking their name and date. On your way in your asked if you can spot the oldest one. We went early in the morning which is nice because there were view few people around, however on a foggy day you might not get to enjoy all the views. Ware trainers or something comfortable on your feet because you will be walking around old paths and pathed tails - it is a garden after all, but it's a long old walk (see my photos).
Simply stunning, we took our 1.5 year old and our dog, they both had a lovely time walking round and exploring. Would recommend bringing a carrier for your baby, as it’s not very pram friendly. We also saw a couple get engaged on the bridge, it was magical
We are NT members and this was a lovely day out! Great little walk which can be extended in the skyline walk (which was also lovely). Great panic site. Beware that there is no parking. We got lucky in a small residential road but there weren’t many around and I would strongly recommend being prepared for a walk or bus journey.
