Frampton On Severn

2nd August 2021

We parked at The Green and met friends, then walked past the church to Splatt Bridge, which opened after we had crossed.

 

The next swing bridge opened too – good to see some activity on the water

The walk was followed by lunch at a cafe

From The Green at Frampton on Severn we walked to the River Severn, then across the Arlingham Peninsula to see the River Severn again. We followed the River Frome to Saul Junction and walked along the Gloucester to Sharpness canal back to Frampton.

This is the Stroudwater Canal

 

We soon find water and Moorhens with three babies (two in the photo)

This is the River Frome – it is narrower here than it is in Stroud
