Radstock is a small town located in the Somerset area, lying at a distance of around 9 miles away from Bath. The town is enveloped in the scenic landscape of the Somer Valley as well as the Mendips. According to the census, the population of Radstock stands at roughly 6,149. The origins of the town trace back to the Iron Age and it was developed into a town due to the construction of the Fosse Way. The discovery of coal in the year of 1763 resulted in the establishment of mining operations at Radstock. Finally, the last coal mine closed its operations in the year of 1973 and the coal mining sites have been converted to many walking and cycling routes at present such as the Colliers Way. Currently there is no railway station in the town, as the rail transport have been replaced by buses. The museum is the main source for finding about the local history, while the residents of the town have the necessary social infrastructure like shops, parks, school and hospitals as well. The nearby hills (Mendips) serve as a popular tourist attraction.
