Fretherne with Saul sits in the low-lying Severn Vale within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. The parish is perhaps best known for Saul Junction, where the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal meets the local waterways, and for its flat, fertile floodplain beside the River Severn, giving the area a mix of broad wetland habitats and working farmland.
The community is small and village-centred, with a handful of historic buildings, boatyards and marinas that support a modest leisure‑boating and tourism economy alongside traditional agriculture. Canal history and waterside recreation draw visitors, while many residents look to nearby Stroud or Gloucester for shops and work, so the parish combines quiet rural life with easy access to regional centres.
