Frampton-on-Severn


Frampton-on-Severn is said to have the longest village green in Britain. I'm not sure if this factual but it certainly is a long and thin village green. Complete with ponds with reeds and lilly pads, games of cricket being played by men in whites and a local village shop. It is all so very stereo typically English and actually very nice.



There are lots of nice walks through the village and along the river with lots of old houses and buildings and wild flowers bursting out of the pavement wherever you go.







There are a few pubs in the village which are all meant to be pretty good though the only one we have been to is The bell Inn, right on the green. It has free wifi (always a bonus for us travelling folk) serves pretty good food and has a load of pigs and goats out the back which was a hit with Willow.





There is also a play park a short walk away from the village centre that we usually try and visit but with Willow in the show this year we didn't get round to it.

Another tradition for Frampton is the local church has its service in the tent on Sunday morning.


An old post


I just found an old blog post that had been forgotten and filed in drafts. I thought this had been posted but maybe it hadn't. It is from Giffords Caravan show in 2008 and since I haven't posted in a while thought I would publish it even though it is years old.
