Congresbury is a large village and civil parish in North Somerset, England, sitting on the banks of the River Yeo between the low-lying Somerset Levels and the ridge of the Mendip Hills. The striking earthworks of Cadbury Hill, an Iron Age hillfort, dominate the skyline and give wide views across the levels, while wetland habitats along the river support a variety of wildlife.
Historically associated with an early Christian foundation and centred on the medieval St Andrew's Church, Congresbury today blends agriculture and small local businesses with a lively community life, pubs and clubs. Its countryside setting and practical amenities make it popular with families and walkers, and it benefits from relatively easy commuter links to Bristol and Weston-super-Mare.
