Locking
Locking is a charming village in North Somerset nestled just a few miles from the coastal town of Weston-super-Mare. While its traditional village green and sweeping views of the Mendip Hills create a peaceful rural setting, residents are perfectly placed to access convenient urban hubs across the South West like Bristol and Taunton, as well as towns along the Somerset coast.
The village offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Residents can explore the Strawberry Line, a popular traffic-free trail for walking and cycling that follows the old railway route through the Somerset countryside. The Parklands Arboretum houses over 80 acres of green space and walking routes, and preserves the heritage of the RAF training base that once stood on the site.
For daily essentials, Locking has its own convenience stores, cafes, pubs, a pharmacy and a post office. Nearby Weston-super-Mare has several retail parks that offer high street brands and major supermarkets like Waitrose, M&S Foodhall and Tesco, as well as independent cafes and restaurants along its picturesque seafront. The village is also a short drive from Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, which offers swimming pools, a gym, and indoor and outdoor sports courts.
Locking is well-placed for commuters. Both Weston-super-Mare and Worle Parkway stations offer direct services to Bristol Temple Meads in around 30 minutes and London Paddington in approximately two hours. Local bus services provide a direct link from Locking Parklands to the town centre and railway station every 30 minutes. For road users, the M5 motorway (Junction 21) is only three miles away, providing a fast route north to Bristol and the Midlands or south towards Bridgwater, Taunton and Exeter. Bristol Airport is a 25-minute drive away, providing direct flights to over 100 international destinations.
Families are well-served by a choice of local schools. Locking Primary school and Parklands Educate Together Primary both hold ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, and for secondary education, students typically attend Winterstoke Hundred Academy in Locking Parklands or Hans Price Academy in Weston-super-Mare, both of which are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
