Corston is a small rural village in the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset, a few miles from the city of Bath. It sits in rolling Somerset countryside close to the edge of the Cotswolds, and is characterised by traditional stone cottages, farmed fields and a compact village core that feels distinctly rural while being within easy reach of urban amenities.

Historically agricultural, Corston has a mixed economy today with many residents commuting into Bath and Bristol for work; the village retains a quiet, community-focused social life with local groups and occasional events, and a number of older buildings and lanes that hint at its long-standing rural heritage.
