Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) is aunitary authority area in theceremonial county ofSomerset, South West England. As its name suggests, it comprises the north-east part of Somerset including the city ofBath, which is its administrative headquarters. It has an area of 136 square miles (352 km2).

The area was created on 1 April 1996 as part of the abolition of thecounty of Avon, and covers the same area as the former Avon districts ofWansdyke and Bath. Legally, it comprises anon-metropolitan county and anon-metropolitan district with identical boundaries. The area is governed byBath and North East Somerset Council, which was created on the same date and which is constituted as a non-metropolitan district council with the responsibilities of a non-metropolitan county council. In addition to its headquarters in Bath, it also has offices inKeynsham. Other settlements in the area includeMidsomer Norton,Radstock,Westfield, andSaltford.

History

[edit]

Bath and North East Somerset was created in 1996, as part oflarger reforms to English local government that took place in the 1990s.

The boundaries of what is now the unitary authority area were first defined in 1974, when thenon-metropolitan county ofAvon was created from thecounty boroughs ofBristol andBath and parts of theadministrative counties ofGloucestershire andSomerset.[4] Avon was divided into sixnon-metropolitan districts includingWansdyke and Bath,[5] the two of which together covered the same area as the current unitary authority area.[6]

Avon and its districts were abolished in 1996, under the provisions of the Avon (Structural Change) Order 1995. The same order established Bath and North East Somerset by creating a new non-metropolitan district and non-metropolitan county with the same area as the former districts Wansdyke and Bath.[6]

Geography

[edit]

Bath and North East Somerset covers an area of 136 square miles (352 km2),[7] of which two thirds isgreen belt. It stretches from the outskirts ofBristol, south into theMendip Hills and east to the southernCotswold Hills andWiltshire border.[8] Surrounding local government areas include Bristol,North Somerset, Somerset,South Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.

The city ofBath is the principal settlement in the district, but B&NES also coversKeynsham,Midsomer Norton,Radstock and theChew Valley. Bath lies on theRiver Avon and its tributaries such as theRiver Chew andMidford Brook cross the area.

In the west of the area the Chew Valley consists of the valley of the River Chew and is generally low-lying and undulating. It is bounded by higher ground ranging fromDundry Down to the north, theLulsgate Plateau to the west, theMendip Hills to the south and theHinton Blewett,Marksbury andNewton St Loe plateau areas to the east. The River Chew was dammed in the 1950s to createChew Valley Lake, which providesdrinking water for the nearby city ofBristol and surrounding areas. The lake is a prominent landscape feature of the valley, a focus for recreation, and is internationally recognised for itsnature conservation interest, because of the bird species, plants and insects.

To the north ofBath areLansdown, Langridge andSolsbury hills. These are outliers of theCotswolds.

Governance

Transport

[edit]

Bath is approximately 12 miles (19 km) south-east of the larger city and port ofBristol, to which it is linked by theA4 road, and is a similar distance south of theM4 motorway. Bath and North East Somerset is also served by theA37 andA368 trunk roads, and a network of smaller roads. Bath is also 12 miles (19 km) south-west ofChippenham, and 8 miles (13 km) south-west ofCorsham.

Bath is connected to Bristol and the sea by theRiver Avon, navigable vialocks by small boats. The river was connected to theRiver Thames and London by theKennet & Avon Canal in 1810 viaBath Locks; this waterway – closed for many years, but restored in the last years of the 20th century – is now popular withnarrow boat users.[72] Bath is onNational Cycle Route 4, with one of Britain's firstcycleways, theBristol & Bath Railway Path, to the west, and an eastern route toward London on the canal towpath. Although Bath does not have an airport, the city is about 18 miles (29 km) fromBristol Airport, which may be reached by road or by rail viaBristol Temple Meads station.

Bath is served by theBath Spa railway station (designed byIsambard Kingdom Brunel), which has regular connections toLondon Paddington,Bristol Temple Meads,Cardiff Central,Swansea,Exeter St Davids,Plymouth andPenzance (seeGreat Western Main Line), and alsoWestbury,Warminster,Frome,Salisbury,Southampton Central,Portsmouth Harbour andBrighton (seeWessex Main Line). Services are provided byGreat Western Railway. There are suburban stations on the main line atOldfield Park andKeynsham which have a limited commuter service to Bristol.Green Park station was once operated by theSomerset & Dorset Joint Railway, whose line (always steam driven) climbed over theMendip Hills and served many towns and villages on its 71-mile (114 km) run toBournemouth; this example of an English rural line was closed by theBeeching cuts in March 1966, with few remaining signs of its existence, but its Bath station building survives and now houses a number of shops.

The 2004Bristol/Bath to South Coast Study[73] was commissioned as a result of thede-trunking in 1999 of the A36/A46 trunk road network from Bath to Southampton.
