Your journey to success starts now

Bridgwater College has numerous buses arriving and leaving each day, with connecting buses to transfer you to and from Cannington College.

Most buses are public service buses, and therefore timetables, routes and rules of carriage apply at all times.

You may be eligible for financial help towards the cost of bus travel through the 16-19 Bursary Support Fund.

Bridgwater College is on the main rail line from Taunton, and the site is just a short walk from the station. We also offer free parking, with designated zones for mopeds and bicycles.
