Weston sits in a distinct valley on the north-western edge of Bath, roughly two miles from the city centre. Once a separate village centred around the textile industry and the waters of the Weston Brook, it was absorbed by the city’s expansion but has managed to keep a sense of its own geography. The heart of the area is the High Street, which provides essential practicalities like a local bakery, a small supermarket, and a post office, alongside the historic All Saints Church with its 15th-century tower. Living here means being hemmed in by greenery; the Cotswold Way passes right through the village, leading steeply up to the plateaus of Lansdown and Kelston Round Hill, which offer some of the best views back over the Somerset countryside. While it’s an easy downhill walk or bus ride into the gravity of Bath’s centre, the proximity to the Royal United Hospital and the quiet, residential nature of the cul-de-sacs climbing the valley sides give Weston a much more settled, functional character than the more tourist-heavy parts of the city.
