About

Saltford ward lies on the northern bank of the River Avon, between the city of Bath and Keynsham. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments and older properties. Its riverside location supports a long path popular for walking and cycling, connecting to the broader Bristol and Bath Railway Path network. The village centre has a small cluster of shops and services catering to local needs.

The ward contains the notable Saltford Brass Mill, a preserved 18th-century industrial site on the riverbank that produced metal for the Bristol brass industry. This history contrasts with the modern marina and boatyard activity further along the water. The area is bordered by the A4 road, which carries significant traffic, and includes stretches of open fields and woodland on its northern edges, maintaining a semi-rural character.
