Westerleigh is a village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswold escarpment with limestone countryside and sweeping views towards Bristol. The settlement grew up around local quarries and historic coal workings, and the landscape still shows that industrial past alongside pockets of farmland and traditional stone cottages.
Today it has a quietly active community with local shops, pubs and village groups, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Yate or Bristol. The parish is also noted for its transport links - freight and passenger lines meet at Westerleigh Junction - and for retaining a rural village character despite being close to larger towns like Coalpit Heath.
