North Somerset is a unitary authority in England, historically part of the county of Somerset but now administered independently. Between 1974 and April 1, 1996, it was the Woodspring district of the county of Avon (named after Woodspring Priory, an isolated mediaeval church near the coast just north of Weston-Super-Mare).
It borders the administrative counties of Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and Somerset, and contains the parliamentary constituencies of Woodspring and Weston-Super-Mare.
