Large town in South Gloucestershire. Most of the town dates from post war to today, as an overspill/commuter town to Bristol (and even beyond).

The Street/graffiti artist Banksy is reputedly from here.

JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was born in the town's Memorial Hospital in Station Rd and lived in Yate for several years as a child.
