Frampton Cotterell is a village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England, set in the Frome valley a short distance north‑east of Bristol. It sits beside the River Frome and is fringed by rolling countryside that gives quick access to the Cotswolds, combining a semi‑rural setting with easy links into the city.
Historically the settlement grew up around river‑powered mills and small industry, and today is largely residential with many commuters to nearby urban centres, but it retains a strong local identity: active community groups, schools, pubs and sports clubs, volunteer nature projects and a mix of older stone buildings and more recent housing keep a village atmosphere while remaining well connected to regional amenities.
