   While I found the Palladian Bridge beautiful, especially nestled right in front of a perfectly reflective lake with the college building in the back, I have an issue with the price being 12 Pounds, that's nearly 16 USD! It's understandable that Prior Park use the funds to help preservation / protect the bridge, however for photographers you're not getting your moneys worth. Also be aware you can enter at the bottom of the hill and don't need to walk to the top. The bridge is at the bottom so you'll get worked up for nothing.

   The Paladin Bridge itself is absolutely lovely — a beautiful spot and well worth seeing. However, it was quite hard to enjoy or get a good photo because so many people were filming TikToks right on the bridge and staying there for ages. It would’ve been nice to have a moment when the bridge was empty to really take in the view

   Elegant Palladian bridge built in the mid 18th century, located within the very attractive Prior Park Landscape Garden. The Italian inspired design is very unusual, with this bridge being one of only four in the world. The view looking up the valley with the bridge in the foreground is much photographed, but when I visited on a Friday afternoon the park wasn't overcrowded. Adult tickets for the park are £11.00 (at the time of writing), so it's worth taking a walk around the full extent of the grounds to make the most of your visit. Dogs on leads are welcome, and there are onsite toilet facilities and a refreshments kiosk.

   Marvellous architecture set in a beautiful landscape garden with fantastic views. This Palladium Bridge is set in Prior Park, a National Trust Garden.

   The Palladian Bridge in Bath, England, is a stunning example of 18th-century architecture, nestled within the picturesque Prior Park Landscape Garden. Designed by Richard Jones and inspired by the classical designs of Andrea Palladio, this bridge is one of only four of its kind worldwide. Built in the mid-1700s for Ralph Allen, a prominent local entrepreneur, the bridge exemplifies the Palladian style, characterized by symmetry, classical proportions, and grandeur. Great visit today !!!!

   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

   OK this is part of Prior Park and can only get there from the entrance at the top of the hill - please note that there is no parking unless you are disabled (Blue Badge Holders only I think) - paths can be steep and there are steps - great views Bus number 2 (going to Mulberry Park) from Bath City Centre - the stop is between the bus and train stations and saves you the walk up the hill Quiet when I went - great views and nice day

   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.
