Travelling by road

Travelling west on the M4, leave the motorway at junction 42 and follow signs for Swansea on the A483 (Fabian Way).

The Bay Campus is situated to the left-hand side of Fabian Way and the main entrance is controlled by traffic lights. Visitor parking is limited on Bay Campus, however there is a large Park and Ride facility located at Fabian Way, which is a short distance from the Bay Campus.

Residential delegates only may park free of charge at the Bay Studios car park, which is just a short walk off campus.
