Wards Court, Frampton-on-Severn

Frampton-on-Severn

This pretty Gloucestershire village lies near the banks of the rivers Frome and Severn, 10 miles south of the cathedral city of Gloucester. In the centre of the village, there is a green, which is said to be the largest in the country and has three ponds. The area surrounding the green’s 22 acres is a conservation area, with many graceful Tudor and Georgian homes and the Cruck Cottages. Overlooking the green, a short stroll from holiday cottages in Frampton-on-Severn, there are two pubs – the Three Horse Shoes and the Bell Inn – both of which are atmospheric places for a pint of Gloucestershire ale or a hearty meal.

Another local landmark is the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, some of which dates back to the 12th century. Much of the village is part of the Frampton Court Estate, which features a magnificent Georgian stately home with an orangery, a wool barn, and a unique garden house. Just outside the village, Hock Crib is a breakwater built by the 4th Earl of Berkley in the 18th century to defend farms from flooding. On the doorstep of your holiday cottage in Frampton-on-Severn, several footpaths lead into the green and unspoiled countryside surrounding the village.
