Parking:

Parking for Brown's Folly and Browne's Folly Nature Reserve in Bath & NE Somerset is very limited. There are a few small, informal lay-by spaces on the narrow lanes near the reserve entrances (e.g., on Folly Lane or Prospect Place, which are steep lanes leading up from Bathford village). These spaces fill up very quickly. Some walkers choose to park considerately in Bathford village (where on-street parking is also limited) and walk up to the reserve, which involves a significant and steep climb. Arrive very early or visit mid-week for the best chance of finding parking nearby this beauty spot.
