The cemetery is open several times a year when we hold Open Days (which are announced here and on our facebook page.)

By car

The postcode BS2 5DD will get you there on GPS, or if you are using an old-fashioned map, look for Bradford Rd (which is officially the A3062 and confusingly looks like it's North Road on Google maps). 

The cemetery is at the junction with Greendown Place, immediately adjacent to a roundabout. Street parking is available on the main road on Bradford Rd on either side of the roundabout. But the parking in Mulberry Way is private and - please don't park in Greendown Place as it is very narrow for residents' cars.

By public transport

In Bath city centre it's easy to locate the main railway station. Just outside the front entrance is a bus stop and the number 2 is one of the services stopping there.

Board there and ask for a ticket to Combe Down (saving a bit if you buy a return). The frequency is three an hour during the daytime, a bit less on Sundays.

The bus mounts a long wooded hill, and emerges at the top into Combe Down village. At the top of the hill it crosses a road and stops at the Hadley Arms (visble on the right). The next stop is Combe Down School (visible on the left). Then the next stop is Combe Down Nursery. Alight here, and continue walking in the same direction to a T-junction and there turn left ito Bradford Rd. Walk about 120m to a left turn to Greendown Place, and you have arrived. The walk is about 5-10min.

For the return jounrney it is less far to walk - the bus stops just on the other side of the roundabout in Mulberry Way.

Visiting Bath?

If you are seeing the sights of our historic city you are likely at some point to be going to the Prior Park Gardens, a National Trust landscaped garden that was designed to show off the stately home of Ralph Allen, who owned the stone quarries from which Bath stone was extracted to build the city.

It's easy to combine a visit to the Jewish cemetery with a trip to Prior Park if you are here on one of our Open Days. Follow the instructions for public transport and you will find that Prior Park is about half-way up the hill on the number 2 bus. It's probably better to come up to Combe Down first and then visit Prior Park garden on the way back.

Coffees, food and drinks are available at the congenial cafe at The Hub: from the Burial Ground cross to the long avene of trees (Mulberry Way) and walk about 100m when you will see outdoor tables and doors into quite a large cafe/restaurant.

From here the bus starts its journey back into Bath.
