Failand
Failand is a village in Somerset, England. It lies within the civil parish of Wraxall and Failand and the unitary authority area of North Somerset.
The village has two separate parts. Failand itself is on the B3128 Bristol to Clevedon road, and is the newer and larger part. Lower Failand, a mile away, is the original village (shown as Fayland on old maps). Lower Failand can be reached by single track lanes only.
Failand is home to a general store, a pub (The Failand Inn), an observatory, a church and a well used village hall.
Tyntesfield is a gothic house and estate acquired by the National Trust in 2002 after a national fund-raising campaign. It has now been restored, and is open to visitors. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. The entrance is just west of Failand on the B3128.
The Anglican parish church of St Bartholomew in Lower Failand was built in 1883-1887 by E. W. Barnes of Bristol.
Richard Long, the Turner Prize winning Land Artist, is a longtime resident of Lower Failand. Roger Fry, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, grew up in Lower Failand.
Failand has a very active village social life. The Failand Society (link below) meets regularly for talks and social events. There is a very active drama group who perform regularly at the village hall. The Failanders Club puts on events for older residents. There are also two active supper clubs where residents meet up.
Despite being a rural village, Failand is very close to Bristol, and Clifton in particular. Clifton village is only 5 minutes' drive from Failand, via Clifton Suspension Bridge. The X6 bus runs to Bristol city centre about once per hour, via Clarken Combe, Bower Ashton and Hotwells. Lower Failand is on the National Cycle Network. Route 334 provides links to Clifton in one direction, and Portbury and Portishead in the other, linking to routes North and South.
