Odd Down is a suburb about two miles from the centre of the beautiful historic city of Bath. Situated on the southern edge of the city the area mixes both urban and rural with good transport links to the city centre and the countryside just minutes away.

The area is largely residential but it is an active area with three small shopping areas, playing fields, parks and a number of social clubs and pubs. There is a strong community feeling within the area with two primary schools, a senior school and a special school as well as a youth club, three churches and a hospital. The local football team Odd Down Athletic play in the Screwfix First Division and Hampset Cricket Club play in the West of England Premier League.	Odd Down is also the crossroads of two of Britain’s historical linear landmarks, the Wansdyke (and earthwork built in the Dark Ages) and the Roman road the Fosse Way. However it is better known historically for being a quarrying area for oolitic limestone which was used to build many of Bath’s Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as Fullers earth used in the woollen industry.	Today there is no mining in Odd Down but its heritage of transport still lives on. The Wellsway (A367), the main road south out of Bath passes through the area and many commuters use the Odd Down Park & Ride. There are also two petrol garages in the area as well as a very regular bus service.
