Nailsea

Nailsea is a friendly town in a beautiful rural location only eight miles from the centre of Bristol.

During the industrial revolution it had one of the biggest glassmaking facilities in the country, and a fine collection of Nailsea Glass is on display at Clevedon Court. Nearby is the National Trust’s Tyntesfield House and Gardens.
The medieval Tithe Barn in the original village centre will be restored by May 2011, creating a superb community building and the new home of the Town Council.
The weekly Tuesday Market and Friday Country Market complement the very popular Farmers and Craft Markets every third Saturday in the month. There is a good range of pubs, with real ales and good value food easy to find. All parking in the Town is free.
There are lots of local countryside walks boasting wildlife habitats and sites of special scientific interest including Backwell Lake Nature Reserve.
