Cadbury Heath contains the infamous council estate Park Estate aka 'Banjo Island'. In 2004 'Banjo Island' was made a one way system, meaning that all traffic now has to go right round the island to get to the local shops.
Public houses include The Lamb and The King William IV, locally known as the "King Billy".
The King William IV Inn was built in the first half of the nineteenth century. It was certainly established by 1881 when the landlord was known to be a local butcher, Mr.H.Potter. He was followed by A.K.Bruton in 1903; William Roberts in 1905; Ellen J.Roberts for about 6 or 7 years, until the start of the Great War when, another lady, Mrs. Georgiana Lewis took over the tenancy. In the early 1920s Mr.Horace Frederick Bungay became the landlord, followed in 1928 by his widow Matilda Sarah Bungay who remained the landlady for around seven years, after which the tenancy was held by Robert Britton. He was certainly there at the outbreak of the second World War.
The suburb has a non-league football team, the grounds of which are opposite the "The Lamb" in Coronation park. Cadbury Heath is located in South Gloucestershire's Oldland Parish, but is very close to the border with Bitton Parish. Neighbouring villages and suburbs include Oldland, Oldland Common and Longwell Green. The suburb is also very close to the Kingswood Museum, Which is open on Tuesdays from 1 October to 30 April, and on Tuesdays and Sundays from 1 May-30 September.
The Suburb is also home to local churches, which include SuburbsChurch on Earlstone Crescent. SuburbsChurch is a Pentecostal church, initially pastored by the late Jimmy Cains, followed by Andrew Wesley until 2007, at which point the current pastor, Michael Williams took over.
Each year there is a village fete in Cadbury Heath, this usually takes place at some time during August and has lots of fun stalls and activities for all ages.
It is served by bus services 43, 44 and 45, 86/87, 318, 319, 532/533.
