The Gloucestershire village of Frampton-on-Severn is located close to the River Severn, and the River Frome, which some think the village is named after. The first records of this town include mentions in the Doomsday Book of 1086, with the population at the time thought to be just 27. Today, numbers run well into four figures, with residents enjoying a thriving community life.
Many visitors will enjoy the 22 acre village green, thought to be the longest in England. The green and its surrounding area make for a pleasant walk, with several pubs, a restaurant and a range of traditional Victorian and Georgian buildings among the focal points. The banks of the River Severn, and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal are also worth exploring for local flora and fauna.
Elsewhere, there’s the large Frampton Country Estate, housing Frampton Court, farmland, lakes and wetland. Tours of Frampton Court, the estate, and the listed buildings in the village that the owners of Frampton manage are available to groups throughout the year. An annual Country Fair is also held on the estate, with Bed and Breakfast Accommodation available both in Frampton Court, and The Orangery.
Several other providers and Holiday Lets are also in the village, such as Byres Water, Heron Cottage, and Kaowen House, with further accommodation and facilities available in nearby Arlingham, Fromebridge, and Framilode. With everything you need in or near Frampton-on-Severn, and several centuries worth of history well worth exploring, can you afford not to visit this Gloucestershire village?
