The A370 is a primary road in England running from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare and on to East Brent (near Brent Knoll) in Somerset. A more direct route from Bristol to East Brent is the A38.

It first bypasses Long Ashton, then passes through Flax Bourton, Backwell, Brockley, Cleeve, Congresbury, Hewish (where it crosses the M5 motorway), Weston-super-Mare, Bleadon and Lympsham before meeting the A38 road.

The A370 can get extremely busy during rush hour especially on the approaches to the M5 motorway, the traffic lights in Congresbury and the Long Ashton bypass — which now has a high-occupancy vehicle lane solely for use by buses, taxis, motorcycles, and cars with two or more occupants.
