Westerleigh is a small village in South Gloucestershire, England, situated a few miles northeast of Bristol and close to Yate and Coalpit Heath. Perched on higher ground, it overlooks the surrounding vale and sits near the edge of the Cotswolds, so it combines rural views with easy commuting access to the nearby cities.
Historically an agricultural settlement that expanded with 19th‑century coal mining and the arrival of the railways, the village retains a strong local community and a compact village centre. It is also known locally for the regional crematorium named after the village; today the economy is largely residential and commuter‑oriented, with light industry and services based in neighbouring towns.
