The charming village of Tytherington has a picturesque setting to the east of the M5 with an impressive backdrop of woods to the north towards Thornbury and beautiful vistas to the south as you drop down into the village, itself enjoying a number of designated green spaces, helping to enhance a picturesque and rural setting. You’ll find plenty of opportunities for outdoor pursuits, from horse-riding and cycling to walking and fishing – try your hand at trout fishing at nearby Tortworth lake – and most of these can end up with a relaxing pint in one of the many traditional village pubs in the region. In addition, the popular attractions of the WWT wetland wildlife reserve at Slimbridge and over 600 acres of forests and glades at Westonbirt Arboretum are both within around a half hour drive.
For your education needs, the nearest primary schools include Rangeworthy CofE (1.6 miles) and St Andrews CofE at Cromhall but there are plenty of other options in Thornbury just a couple of miles away. In addition, a choice of state and independent secondary schools within 5 miles include The Castle School, Brimsham Green School, Tockington Manor School and Yate and Winterbourne Academy Schools.
The village of Tytherington itself benefits from a number of excellent local facilities. These include the Swan Public House and the local village shop (now running for over 20 years thanks to members of the local community) which also houses the Post Office.
The village hall is the location for a local pre-school group, and also serves as a venue for meeting and events for the local WI, history group, Brownies & Guides and Thornbury Musical Theatre Group. Other regular events include the May Day Fair, a Summer Fun Day and a Beer Festival – all contributing to a lively and active community. Key to the community is St James’s Church, dating back to 1170 – located at the crossroads opposite the pub, village green and playground – and there is also a small Baptist Church with weekly services and host to other activities and clubs. The other Club of note is the memorably named Tytherington Rocks Football Club which has a long history in the village.
Historically, the basis of the local economy came from agriculture and associated industries including cloth making and malting. The area is also known for its limestone quarries which undoubtedly brought prosperity to the village in the 19th century and evidence remains locally of disused quarry sites.
The nearest supermarkets are Tesco and Aldi, both just over 2 miles away in Thornbury, but there are other shopping options in Yate and Wotton-under-Edge and Bristol city centre is also not far. Yate is also home to a Cineworld cinema within the newly developed riverside retail park.
Alternatively, travel south less than 10 miles to Cribbs Causeway off the M5 at junction 17 for The Vue cinema the Hollywood Bowl, a number of restaurants and cafes as well as an extensive shopping experience offered by over 150 stores including John Lewis and Marks and Spencer.
Enjoy a fantastic work/life balance at Clements Farm in Tytherington. This location offers country living and a delightful village lifestyle yet the M5 is just a short drive for either Bristol or Cheltenham/Gloucester commuters and it’s also only 7 miles to Bristol Parkway with regular rail services to Cardiff (30mins) and London Paddington (1hr 15mins) among others.
