The village and civil parish of Congresbury sits in the unitary authority of North Somerset in Somerset, set on the banks of the River Yeo with the rolling Mendip Hills close by. The name reflects an early medieval association with the Celtic saint Congar and the parish retains a medieval church, while archaeological finds hint at prehistoric and Roman activity in the surrounding landscape.
Today Congresbury combines a rural, agricultural base with a commuter population attracted to nearby Bristol, and supports local shops, pubs, a primary school and active community groups and sports clubs; village events and care of green spaces form an important part of local social life, and good road links have influenced its recent growth.
