In the 19th century, Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western Railway was constructed through Yatton; lines branched off from Yatton to Cheddar, Clevedon and Blagdon. Although the branch line to Blagdon (Wrington Vale Light Railway) was closed to passengers in 1932, and the Clevedon and Cheddar/Wells lines were closed during the 1960s, the classically Victorian station designed by Brunel is still in use. It is now possible to walk or cycle along the former route of the 'Strawberry Line' from Yatton to Cheddar (so called because of the trade in Cheddar's strawberries), although not all of it is easily passable, especially by bicycle.

Origin of the name The origin of the name 'Yatton' is uncertain. It may come from the Anglo-Saxon 'gatton' meaning 'village on the track'; the track in question is a path of limestone leading from Cadbury Hill. It may also mean 'gateway to the hills' or the city or may be derived from its location near the river Yeo. The village has at one time or another been called Jatune, Eaton and Yatton Blewitt. Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) is an early form of the English language that was spoken in parts of what is now England and southern Scotland between the mid-fifth century and the mid-twelfth century. ...
There are several rivers called the Yeo in the West Country of England. ...
