Frampton-on-Severn and Dusk at Coaley Peak

After our Purton Hulks walk on Friday, we travelled further up the  Gloucester to Sharpness canal to Saul Junction where there is a café. Alas it had stopped serving food when we got there so we had a quick cup of tea and headed to The Bell Inn at Frampton-on-Severn who served food all afternoon. 

We had some lovely filled baguettes... and a beer or two, and went for a walk around Frampton green, the longest in England. As this article says, " It lies on the east bank of the River Severn, and on the west bank of the River Frome, from which it takes its name. The village is linked by footpath to the Sharpness Canal. There is a large village green, 22 acres (8.9 ha) in size and reputedly the longest in England. There is a designated Conservation Area around the green, including Tudor and Georgian houses, and the village also has a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Frampton Pools. Much of the village forms part of the Frampton Court Estate, owned by the Clifford family. "

Here are a few of my photos.

On our way back to Yate, David took us to Coaley Peak, which is on the Cotswolds Way to see the sunset.

This is also the site of the Neolithic  Nympsfield Long Barrow.

Thank-you again Kirsty and David.
