Old Sodbury

Old Sodbury sits on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment in South Gloucestershire, England, a compact village with sweeping views across the Severn Vale. Its setting on rolling limestone countryside gives easy access to attractive walking, nearby ancient earthworks on the surrounding hills and a landscape that feels distinctly rural despite being within reach of larger towns.

The village has a quietly historic feel – old stone houses and a village church cluster with nearby Little Sodbury Manor and the market town of Chipping Sodbury not far away. Traditionally agricultural, Old Sodbury now has a mixed, commuter-friendly economy with many residents travelling to Bristol and Bath, while local life centres on the pub, village hall and occasional fetes that keep the community spirit alive.
