OFFA'S DYKE
11 miles from Bradley Stoke Parish
An earthwork roughly following the Welsh/English boundary consisting of a ditch and rampart. Origins shrouded in mystery but possibly built in response to events involving the Princes of Powys.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
12 miles from Bradley Stoke Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
ST BRIAVELS CASTLE
15 miles from Bradley Stoke Parish
The fine twin-towered gatehouse, built by Edward I in 1292, once defended a crossbow bolt factory which used local iron. Once a prison, now a youth hostel in wonderful walking country.

Holy Trinity was the first church built in Bradley Stoke. The building was completed in 1994. However, the church body existed before this with worship taking place in the Vicarage and then the 'blue hut' from 1989.
From the outset the vision for Holy Trinity has been to 'build up and reach out with the love of Jesus Christ' to our community in Bradley Stoke through sound bible teaching and a practical application of faith. We aim to provide care and support for one another both within the church and in the wider community.
Holy Trinity's large, modern and well-equipped building is used every day of the week from morning to night by numerous organisations both church-based and community-based. The activities cater for all ages from babies to adults.
All denominations are welcome at Holy Trinity. The church was established on an ecumenical basis blending Anglican, Methodist and United Reformed into the format and style of worship.
