The parish of Sodbury sits on the southern edge of the Cotswolds in South Gloucestershire, a short drive from Bristol. It embraces the market town of Chipping Sodbury and the smaller villages of Old Sodbury and Little Sodbury, blending rolling farmland with a compact historic town centre of independent shops, cafés and a long market tradition.
History is visible here in the Iron Age hillfort of Sodbury Camp, medieval parish churches and fine timber‑framed and Tudor houses such as Little Sodbury Manor. Today the area supports local services, small businesses and many commuters to Bristol, with an active community life centred on annual events, village groups and efforts to conserve its green belt and historic fabric.
