Rudgeway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudgeway is a village in South Gloucestershire in south west England, located between Alveston and Almondsbury. The A38 trunk road runs through the village. A road junction on the A38 leads to Yate and the east of the county.
The petrol station in the village closed a few years ago (due to competition from garages in neighbouring villages) but there is still a restaurant near the old site, the Masons Arms.
South of Rudgeway a long straight section of the A38, known as the Mile Straight, heads towards Almondsbury.
The village was originally called Ridgeway, since it was spread out along the upper edge of the Severn Escarpment.
