Falfield

Falfield

Falfield is a village near the northern border of South Gloucestershire, clustered mainly along the A38 road. It is also the first stop from Junction 14 of the M5.

It has a large garden centre, and two prisons (Eastwood Park, Leyhill Prison) nearby. The area has a Wotton-under-Edge (GL12) post code and so is often featured in the press incorrectly as, for example, "Leyhill, Gloucestershire".
