Larkhall is a thriving community on the eastern fringes of Bath, especially popular with families due to the high number of excellent schools in the area – St Mark’s and St Saviour’s CofE schools, for example. The high street offers a popular fringe theatre and excellent shops; locals will travel across the city to visit Larkhall Butchers and the much-loved hardware store. The A4 is close by and provides convenient access to junction 18 of the M4 motorway.
