Frampton-on-Severn
Frampton-on-Severn is a picturesque and historic village nestled in the Severn Vale of Gloucestershire, close to the River Severn and the scenic Gloucester & Sharpness Canal. It is best known for its magnificent village green—reputed to be the longest in England—fringed with Georgian houses, thatched cottages, and ancient chestnut trees.
This peaceful village is perfect for canal-side walks, birdwatching, and cycling along the tranquil towpaths. One of its most striking features is the Church of St Mary the Virgin, a beautiful 14th-century building beside the canal, adding character to this timeless landscape.
On a sunny day, take in a game of cricket on the green—an idyllic sight that perfectly captures the spirit of a lazy summer’s afternoon in the English countryside.
