Yate is a medium sized town sitting to the North of Bristol. Yate is mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086, and St Mary's - the parish church - dates from Norman times. However, through to Medieval times, most of what is now Yate was covered in forest which gave way to farmland. However, in 1844 the railway station opened and started to establish Yate as a town in its own right. Into the 20th century Yate grew rapidly, partly as a commuter town for nearby Bristol. Today Yate's population is around 35,000.
Yate borders onto Chipping Sodbury, a lovely village which has many of the characteristics of the Cotswold villages. Yate and Chipping Sodbury are situated to the southwest of the Cotswolds. Yate and Chipping Sodbury are surrounded by greenbelt,
