The parish of Stanton Drew sits in rural Bath and North East Somerset, on the edge of the Chew Valley and within easy reach of Bath and Bristol. It’s a small agricultural community of scattered farms and cottages set in rolling limestone countryside, with a medieval parish church and a close‑knit village life.
Stanton Drew is best known for its remarkable Neolithic stone circles - the Great Circle with adjoining rings and avenues - which are among the largest prehistoric monuments in Britain after Avebury and are protected as scheduled ancient monuments. The stones bring walkers, archaeologists and folklore enthusiasts to the parish; the local economy combines farming, small‑scale tourism and commuter households, while community and conservation efforts work to preserve the archaeology and landscape.
