About

The Bathavon South ward encompasses a primarily rural area on the southern fringe of Bath. It includes several villages such as Combe Down, Monkton Combe, and South Stoke, set within the rolling landscape of the Limpley Stoke Valley. The ward is defined by the River Avon, which forms a significant part of its eastern boundary, and contains sections of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The area features extensive woodland and farmland, with the Combe Down stone mines, a vast subterranean network, forming a notable historical legacy from its quarrying past. Local governance focuses on matters affecting these outlying villages and their green spaces. Transport routes like the A36 corridor run through the ward, connecting it to the city centre while maintaining a distinct, separate character.
