Welcome to Saltford

Saltford is a large village and civil parish in the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority, Somerset, England. It lies between the cities of Bristol and Bath. It lies on the A4 road and River Avon, to which the Saltford and Kelston locks provide access. The low-lying area is prone to flooding.

There are four public houses in the village: The Bird in Hand, The Jolly Sailor, The Crown and The Riverside. Saltford is home to a number of listed buildings. The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny.

St Mary's Church, Saltford, is a Norman church which dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. The tower dates from Saxon times, although it has been extensively repaired and the top 10 feet were added later. The church used to include an external porch, but this was demolished in the nineteenth century and the stone used to build the vestry.

Saltford Manor House, which lies west of the church, dates from around 1160, and was found by a survey by Country Life to be the oldest continuously occupied house in England.

The 18th-century Old Brass Mill is, like the Manor House, listed as Grade II and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The Brass Mill was one of a series of mills along the Avon Valley which were powered by waterwheels.

The village is the location of the Avon County Rowing Club, a club which is available for local community from a young age to adults, the site is also used by Bristol University for training. The club has competed at both and national level, having success from its veteran 4 at racing events like Henley Royal Regatta and other events like the British Rowing Championships.

Saltford has had a primary school in the village for a number of centuries. Originally housed in what is now St Mary's Church Hall, the school is now located off Claverton Road.
