Description

Wansdyke derives its name from Woden's Dyke (Woden being a god of the Saxons), the ancient defensive ditch that stretches from near Bristol, down through the villages of Compton Dando and Marksbury, concluding beyond Marlborough in Wiltshire.

In the North is the Bristol commuting belt of Oldland, Longwell Green, Hanham and the villages of Bitton and Upton Cheyney. Keynsham is arguably the largest town in the North of the constituency, and is famous for, amongst other things, its chocolate factory which makes brands such as Turkish Delight.

In the West is the picturesque Chew Valley, made up of villages such as Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, East and West Harptree and Bishop Sutton
