Willsbridge is a village in the unitary authority of South Gloucestershire, UK. It is located on the outskirts of Bristol.

The village contains a nature reserve, Willsbridge Mill, run by the Avon Wildlife Trust, which is also the site of an abandoned watermill which acts as a Education and Countryside Centre. Willsbridge Mill and Valley are leased from South Gloucestershire Council.

The valley contains many habitats. The woodlands have carpets of Common Bluebells, campions and resound with birdsong. The ponds are important homes for frogs, toads and dragonflies, and dippers and kingfishers visit the stream. Foxes and badgers also live in the valley and noctule and Greater Horseshoe Bat feed on the many insects in the valley.[1]
