Patchway is a suburban town in South Gloucestershire, England, lying just north of Bristol. It sits close to Filton and the Cribbs Causeway shopping area, with easy motorway access via the M5 and rail connections from Patchway's own station and nearby Bristol Parkway.
The town expanded in the 20th century to house workers for the aerospace and engineering firms clustered around Filton, so its economy still reflects that industrial heritage alongside light industry, business parks and retail. Today Patchway feels like a practical commuter suburb with pockets of green space, community facilities and ongoing regeneration, while proximity to major employers such as Rolls‑Royce and Airbus gives the area a distinctly industrial character.
