 The Parliamentary Constituency of North East Somerset can be easily divided into four areas:

In the North is the Bristol and Bath commuting belt of.Saltford and Keynsham, the latter of which is the largest town in the North of the constituency, and is famous for, amongst other things, its chocolate factory which makes brands such as Turkish Delight.

In the West is the picturesque Chew Valley, made up of villages such as Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, East and West Harptree and Bishop Sutton, whilst further East from the Chew Valley, there are the villages of Pensford, Farmborough, Timsbury, Temple Cloud and Clutton.

Situated in the South, in the area of the old Somerset coalfields, are the towns of Midsomer Norton and Radstock and the villages of Paulton and Peasedown St. John. The towns and villages in this area of the constituency are particularly close knit, brought together by the shared history of hard work and strong sense of community.

In the East in the area previously known as Bathavon, there are a mixture of large and small villages including Wellow, Hinton Charterhouse, Freshford, Claverton and Bathampton, whilst to the North of the River Avon lie the large parishes of Batheaston and Bathford, together with many small villages  including Northstoke, Kelston, Langridge, Tadwick, Woolley and Swainswick, each with their own special identity.

The constituency boundaries are similar to those pre-1997 when the constituency was known as Wansdyke and Jack Aspinwall served as the Conservative MP. When Jack stood down the Wansdyke seat was won by Labour, and is currently held with a majority of 1839. Conservative Parliamentary Candidate Jacob Rees-Mogg is now working hard to win back the seat.
