Westfield sits on the high ground between Radstock and Midsomer Norton, a location that historically defined its character as a hub of the North Somerset coalfield. While it was once just a collection of cottages serving the nearby Norton Hill and Wellsway pits, it has since evolved into a distinct parish with its own sense of identity. Geographically, it is shaped by its industrial archaeology; the old railway lines that once transported coal have been repurposed as the Greenway, providing a level, paved route for walking and cycling through the Somerset countryside. Practical life here centers around the cluster of local shops along the Fosse Way - the ancient Roman road that cuts straight through the heart of the village - and the expansive recreation ground which hosts the local football club. It lacks the steep, narrow valley constraints of central Radstock, offering instead a more open layout where 1930s terraces and modern estates sit alongside quiet allotments and the red-brick remains of its Victorian heritage.
