Backwell and us
A village between two towns
Backwell sits between Nailsea and Long Ashton, a village that has kept its own identity despite the growth around it, with the shared Nailsea & Backwell station giving it a direct line into Bristol.
Clevedon is the closer, more local option, and a growing number of Backwell patients now make the short trip for hearing tests, ear wax removal and hearing aid advice rather than the longer trip into Bristol.
