Almondsbury

Almondsbury (English: /ˈɑːməndzbərɪ/) is a large village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England.

It is situated on the A38 road in the Avon Green Belt 7 miles (11 km) north of Bristol city centre.

The village is split by a steep hill, part of the escarpment overlooking the Severn floodplain.

At the bottom of the hill is Lower Almondsbury where a pub and hotel, The Bowl Inn, is situated.

Almondsbury is part of the Severn Vale electoral ward,[2] which elects two of the 61 members of South Gloucestershire Council.

[4] For elections to the UK Parliament, Almondsbury is in the Thornbury and Yate constituency,[5] which as of 2024[update] is represented by Claire Young of the Liberal Democrats.

Parts of this whitewashed-stone inn were originally the three cottages erected in 1146 to house the monks building the adjacent church of St Mary the Virgin.

[8] Another pub, The Swan Inn, is located on the A38 in the upper part of the village, almost opposite an open space known as Almondsbury Tump.

It also includes Cribbs Causeway and the site of the village of Charlton, now the western end of Filton Airfield.
