Norton Radstock is a small conurbation and large civil parish in Bath and North East Somerset, England, 8 miles (13 km) south west of Bath, and the same distance north west of Frome. It has a population of 21,325 according to the 2001 census. The term Norton Radstock is not recognised by local residents, neither does it appear on any road map. It consists of the twin towns of Midsomer Norton and Radstock. The town is north of the Mendip Hills. The parish includes the smaller settlements of Clandown and Haydon.
The parish was created in 1974 as a successor to the Norton-Radstock urban district that had been created in 1933 by the merger of Midsomer Norton and Radstock urban districts, along with part of Frome Rural District.[2] Under the Local Government Act 1972 it became a successor parish to the urban district.
