About

Portishead West covers the residential and coastal areas on the western side of the town. The ward includes the marina development and Lake Grounds park, which features a boating lake and stretches along the Severn Estuary. Housing here ranges from modern apartments near the waterfront to older estates further inland. The coastline provides views across the water to Wales and is a focal point for local recreation.

The area is shaped by its maritime history, with the prominent Portishead Point lighthouse marking the entrance to the channel. Economic activity is centred around the marina and its associated businesses. Transport links include the B3124 road, and the ward contains several primary schools serving the community. The open spaces along the shore contrast with the more densely built neighbourhoods surrounding the high street.
