Coalpit Heath is a small village in southwest England, between the towns of Yate and Frampton Cotterell in South Gloucestershire. Due to many years of expansion in the neighbouring towns, the borders for Coalpit Heath have been lost. The village contains three Pubs, one post office, a 27-hole golf course (The Kendleshire) and numerous local stores. The village also includes a parish church (St. Saviours), and a local primary school, the Manor CE VC Primary school.

It was founded as a coal mining town to feed England's needs, but in 1949 the coal ran out, and since then it has become a sought after place to live, with fields and easy accommodation.

Frampton Cotterell lies along the northwest border, but the rest of the village is surrounded by the rolling Cotswold countryside, stocked full of wildlife and country pursuits.
