Bathavon North

Bathavon North is an electoral ward in the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset, occupying the rural and suburban stretch to the north‑east of the city of Bath. It contains a string of villages and hamlets such as Batheaston and Bathampton, sitting in the floodplain and rolling slopes of the River Avon and crossed by the historic Kennet and Avon Canal, giving fine views back towards Bath’s Georgian skyline and plenty of green space and meadows on its edges.

The area mixes long‑established village life with a commuter population drawn to Bath; locally you’ll find listed churches and mills, small businesses, farms and active community groups that run village halls, pubs and conservation campaigns (notably efforts to protect local meadows). Its character is defined by quiet rural lanes, historic buildings and easy access to Bath’s cultural and economic amenities, making it a popular place for families and those seeking countryside close to the city.
