Priston is a small rural village and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, England, set among rolling Somerset countryside a few miles from Bath. Narrow lanes, stone cottages and surrounding pasture give it a characteristically West Country feel, with open views toward the Mendip Hills.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the village retains a parish church and a number of historic buildings; the local economy mixes farming with people who commute into Bath and Bristol. Community life is quiet but active, with village events and plenty of opportunities for walking and enjoying rural life close to city amenities.
