Location
Southstoke is a small picturesque village situated on the southern fringes of the city of Bath. It is located 2 miles (3 km) south of the city. The village provides views over the surrounding countryside and is the starting point for many country walks. A popular route is to visit other villages and their pubs in the area, such as Combe Hay and Midford via the now disused Somerset Coal Canal. You may also like to visit the nearby South Stoke Millennium Viewpoint which is a stone seated beauty spot providing far reaching views towards the Westbury white horse hill and beyond. Southstoke is a designated Conservation Area and the buildings are mainly built with cream oolitic limestone. There are no less than 27 listed structures in and around the immediate village which has retained much of its original character and historic appeal.The village church is dedicated to St James and dates from the 12th century. Although the village has a very rural secluded feeling it is also very usefully only 1/3 mile to the nearest bus stop to the city and public house and ½ mile to the nearest local supermarket and petrol station.
