The Area

"A jewel in the Severn Vale"

Frampton on Severn is one of Gloucestershire's best kept villages, with it’s twenty-two acre village green, reputedly England's longest and it’s Norman Church, standing on the banks of the Gloucester to Sharpness canal, with the River Severn beyond.

Timbered houses rub shoulders with thatched cottages throughout the length of the village, whilst the imposing Frampton Court and the 15th Century Manor House overlook the green.

It’s proximity to the A38 and the M5 motorway (Jnc 13) makes Frampton an ideal choice as a holiday venue, or a stopover for the traveller.

There is a well stocked village shop, Post Office and two pubs both of which serve food and other good eating places nearby.

Frampton is an ideal base from which to watch the famous 'Severn bore' with it's spectacular tidal wave.

Within a short drive lie the Cotswolds, the Royal Forest of Dean and many tourist attractions.

Other local places of interest include, Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucester Docks and Berkeley Castle. We are close to the route 41 cycle path.

At this time of the year (Autumn/Winter) the major local attraction is The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge. Migratory birds returning to the UK, from colder climes is much of the attraction. Many of our 'leisure visitors' are Slimbridge bound.

A well kept secret is the two very large lakes in Frampton. Right on the doorstep and no entrance fee for the visitors and lots of wildlife!

Otherwise, Slimbridge is just a four mile drive from Frampton.
