The Boating Station is less than a mile from the Roman Baths, with the Jane Austen Centre an 18-minute walk away. Sham Castle is a 16-minute stroll to the south, and Bath Spa Train Station is a 21-minute walk. Bath city centre is a short 20-minute walk along the river.

Complimentary Boat Experiences

Guests at the Boating Station receive a complimentary hour of rowing boat, punting, or canoeing on the river Avon (seasonal, selected days). A free cruiser ride into Bath city centre is offered each morning at 9:30 and 10:00. The boat hire is a seasonal business, so guests should check availability.
