About

Radstock ward lies in the northwest of Bath and North East Somerset, centred on the former mining town of Radstock. The area is characterised by its steep valleys and terraced housing built for the local collieries. The landscape is marked by the remains of old railway lines and industrial infrastructure, now often repurposed as walking paths. The local museum is housed in a former chapel, detailing the area's coal mining heritage.

The town functions as a local service centre with a high street containing independent shops and supermarkets. Surrounding villages like Writhlington and Clandown are included within the ward's boundaries. Community life often revolves around local schools, churches, and sports clubs. The area is directly linked to the national cycle network, with Route 24 passing through the former railway routes.
