Kelston is a small rural parish in Bath and North East Somerset, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Bath on the slopes above the River Avon. The settlement itself is tiny - a scattering of houses, farms and lanes set into parkland and rolling pasture - and feels distinctly quieter and more agricultural than the nearby city.
Its most notable historic feature is the landscaped estate of Kelston Park, and the local parish church (St Nicholas) has medieval origins, reflecting the long continuity of village life. Today the parish combines farming with a degree of commuter residency for Bath and Bristol, and is popular with walkers and day visitors who come for the views across the Avon valley and the sense of countryside close to the city. Social life is small‑scale and community‑centred, with occasional events tied to the estate and church rather than high street amenities.
