Frocester is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, tucked into the gentle valley of the River Frome on the edge of the Cotswolds. The landscape is typical of the area, with rolling farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes; the village sits near the line of an old Roman road and there is evidence of Roman activity in the locality, while a historic manor house and a village church hint at a long local story.
Today Frocester is largely agricultural with a mix of small local enterprises and residents who commute to nearby towns for work, and it retains a strong village community feel with walking routes, local gatherings and a pace of life shaped by the surrounding countryside rather than heavy industry. Its quiet setting and historic layers make it a modest but interesting corner of rural Gloucestershire.
