Built-up area in South Gloucestershire, England

Dialling code: 01454 (Chipping Sodbury)

Heath End is a small, rural settlement in South Gloucestershire, England, lying on the western fringe of the Cotswold hills. The name reflects remnants of heathland and mixed farmland; narrow lanes, stone and brick cottages, hedgerows and rolling countryside are typical of the local landscape, and it sits within easy commuting distance of Bristol and nearby market towns.

Historically the area has been shaped by farming and small‑scale quarrying, but today it feels largely residential with a mix of local farms, home working and commuters. Community life is quiet and village‑focused, popular with walkers and riders using the network of footpaths and bridleways, and most amenities and social activities are found in the surrounding villages and parishes rather than a central high street.
