How to find us

 

Saltford Brassmill can be found in the village of Saltford, situated on the A4 between Bath and Bristol.

Visitors are requested to use the Shallows Public Car Park in the vicinity of the mill. The island on which the mill is built is a private marina and its surroundings are not open to the public.

Public Transport

Several bus services run through the village, either from Bath or Bristol. We suggest you catch the X39. Alight at the Crown Pub and walk down Beech Road and the High Street, turning right at the Shallows.

Bike

Saltford is a stop on the Bristol to Bath cycle path (see the Sustrans website for more details). Leave the track at the Bird in Hand pub. Climb a short, steep hill then 1st left into the Shallows (watch out for cars on the corner).
