Yatton is a village and civil parish within the unitary authority of North Somerset,
which falls within the ceremonial county of Somerset, England.
It is located 11 miles (18 km) south-west of Bristol. Its population in 2001 was 9,176.
The parish includes Claverham, a small village which was originally a farming hamlet.
The origins of the village and its name are unclear, however there is evidence of Iron Age hill fort and a Roman
villa in the area. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century and more recent road building have led to expansion of the village with Yatton
now acting as a home to many commuters, while also supporting manufacturing industry and commerce. The village is located on the North Somerset Levels,
where the low lying land, a mixture of peat, estuarine alluvium and low hills of sand and gravel, is crossed by a myriad of watercourses,
providing a habitat for several scarce species. Congresbury is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England.
It is situated in the Unitary authority of North Somerset, and in 2001 had a population of 3,400. It lies on the A370,
roughly equidistant between Junction 21 of the M5 and Bristol International Airport, approximately 13 miles south of Bristol city centre,
and 7 miles east of Weston-super-Mare. The Congresbury Yeo river flows through the village.
The nearest railway station is in the nearby village of Yatton, although Congresbury once had its own railway station on the Cheddar Valley line from Yatton to Wells.
It was also the starting point for the Wrington Vale Light Railway which went to nearby Wrington and then on to Blagdon.
