North Common is a village in in Gloucestershire sitting just outside Warmley, at the very edge of the great suburban growth of Bristol. It can be found on the eastern outskirts of Bristol approximately halfway between Bristol city centre and the neighbouring city of Bath, the latter across the county border in Somerset.
Historically this was a rural hamlet surrounded by farmland. The swell of the new Bristol suburbs cane to meet it from the west however. Today east of the village opens into attractive, rolling countryside, with views of Lansdown, and the surrounding hills.
North Common is now a semi-rural village, adjacent to the suburban villages of Warmley, Oldland Common and Bridgeyate. To the east of the village is open farmland and greenbelt.
