Cadbury Heath is a residential suburb in South Gloucestershire, England. It is in Oldland parish in the eastern fringe of the Bristol Built-up Area, 5 miles (8 km) east of Bristol city centre, and borders the neighbourhoods of Longwell Green, Oldland Common, Warmley and Kingswood.[1]

Historically, Cadbury Heath was part of the Kingswood Forest. Much of the area was developed in the immediate post-war period as a low-rise council estate suburb, with a neighbourhood centre including a primary school, pub and community hall. The estate gained the nickname "Banjo Island" due to the layout of the streets around Park Crescent.[2]

For elections to South Gloucestershire Council, it is in the Parkwall and Warmley electoral ward.[3]

It is home to Cadbury Heath F.C..
