Radstock is a small town and civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills in England. It sits in a shallow valley of rolling countryside and older stone terraces, and is within easy commuting distance of Bath, which gives the town a mix of local services and commuter households alongside longer‑standing community life.
Historically Radstock grew up as a centre of the Somerset Coalfield in the 19th and early 20th centuries; traces of that industrial past - disused railway lines, colliery earthworks and the local Radstock Museum - remain prominent and of interest to industrial‑heritage visitors. Today the local economy combines small shops, light industry and commuting employment, while walking routes into the hills, community events and an active local history scene keep a strong civic identity.
