The Widcombe & Lyncombe electoral ward lies just south‑east of Bath city centre in Bath and North East Somerset, England. It occupies a steep, wooded valley and descends to the River Avon and the Kennet and Avon Canal, with a mix of Georgian terraces, Victorian houses and later council estates that reflect Bath’s expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Locally it retains a village‑like feel, supported by independent shops, pubs and active community groups, and an economy shaped by tourism and commuters into Bath. Notable features include the restored Cleveland Pools - one of the UK’s oldest public outdoor swimming venues - and the wooded Lyncombe Vale, prized for riverside walks and traces of the area’s industrial and spa‑era history.
