Saltford is a small village in the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority, Somerset, England,
It lies on the A4 road, and River Avon to which the Saltford and Kelston locks provide access. Unfortunately there is a lot of flooding in the low lying area due to high river levels.
The local primary school (Saltford C of E Primary School) has good results.
There are four public houses in the village: The Bird in Hand, The Jolly Sailor, The Crown and The Riverside.
It is home to a number of listed buildings. The Church of St Mary is a Norman church which dates back to the 12th century and is a grade II listed building.[1] The Manor House from around 1160[2] and 18th century Old Brass Mill[3] are listed as II*.
