Conkwell is a hamlet in Winsley parish, Wiltshire, England, near the county border of North East Somerset. It is about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) west of Bradford on Avon and 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the city of Bath. The settlement was established to house the workers in the local stone quarries.
There used to be a small chapel serving the community, which has been incorporated into one of the dwellings.
At the end of the Dundas Aqueduct on the Kennet and Avon Canal a wharf was constructed serving the Conkwell stone quarries.
