About Locking Castle

Locking Castle is a predominantly residential part of Weston-super-Mare, positioned between established neighbourhoods around Worle and the expanding communities towards Locking.

The area includes quiet residential streets, small cul-de-sacs and pedestrian connections between different parts of the neighbourhood. Street names commonly found within Locking Castle include Campion Close, Sloe Close, Pennycress, Darmead, Blaisdon, Aspen Park Road and Yarbury Way.

Properties marketed within Locking Castle show that the area extends across parts of both the BS22 and BS24 postcode districts. Buyers should therefore check the full address and postcode of an individual home rather than assuming the entire neighbourhood shares one postcode sector.

Locking Castle should not be confused with Locking village or Locking Parklands. The three areas are close to one another but have their own residential character and property mix.
