Oldfield Park

The electoral ward of Oldfield Park in Bath and North East Somerset sits just south‑west of Bath city centre, straddling the route of the River Avon and anchored by Oldfield Park railway station. The area is largely made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, a legacy of 19th‑century expansion linked to the railway, with green pockets and easy commuter links into both Bath and Bristol.

Culturally and economically it feels like a busy suburban neighbourhood; Moorland Road and nearby streets host independent shops, cafes and pubs that serve a mixed population of families, long‑term residents and students. The ward has a slightly bohemian, community‑minded vibe while still being practical for commuters, reflecting its history as a transport‑led suburb that has retained local high‑street activity rather than becoming purely residential. Neighbouring areas such as Bear Flat and Twerton help define its place within the wider city.
