Olveston in South Gloucestershire, England is a compact, primarily rural village and civil parish tucked near Thornbury and sitting on the southern fringe of the Severn Estuary. It retains a strong village character - hedged lanes, farmland and pockets of woodland - yet benefits from wide views across the estuary towards Wales and convenient road links into Bristol and the M5 corridor.
Locally there are historic houses and a parish church that hint at its long history, while today the community mixes agriculture with commuter households and small local businesses; village halls, the pub and occasional events keep a lively social scene. Buildings such as Olveston Court add architectural interest and the area is popular with people seeking a quiet, scenic base within easy reach of the city.
