Radstock is a small former mining town and electoral ward in Bath and North East Somerset, England, set among the rolling countryside near the Mendip Hills. Historically it was a hub of the Somerset Coalfield, and the legacy of that industrial past survives in terraced streets, former pit sites and the local museum, giving the place a distinctive Victorian character. Today it functions largely as a residential and light‑industrial centre with strong community ties, heritage events and growing links for commuters to Bath and Bristol, while surrounded by walking country and pockets of regeneration that blend history with a quieter rural lifestyle.
