Home since the 1930s of
Cadbury’s chocolates, this ancient town lies
at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Chew
and has long been associated with
water-powered mills that once filled the
region.
One of them, Albert Mill, is the only dyewood
mill still in working order.
Operated by two huge, 18ft waterwheels, it
supplied wood dyes to textile and local
glove-making companies.
Keynsham’s 13th century parish church is noted
for its ornate, pinnacled tower but the oldest
building in these parts is a large and
impressive Roman villa.
The Avon Valley Country Park is nearby. |
