Bathford is a small village and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, lying just to the north‑east of the city of Bath. Perched on the slopes above the Avon Valley, it has a mix of mellow stone cottages, farmland and rolling countryside with views down to the River Avon, making it a quietly picturesque spot close to the city.
The village has a long parish history centred on its historic church, St Swithun's Church, and formerly supported riverside mills; today many residents commute into Bath while local life is kept alive by a pub, village hall and community events, giving Bathford a blend of rural character and practical links to the nearby urban economy.
