Frome is a town and civil parish in eastern Somerset, England. Located at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills, the town of Frome
is built on uneven high ground, and centres on the River Frome.
Frome is approximately 13 miles (21 km) south of Bath, 43 miles (69 km) east of the county town, Taunton and 107 miles (172 km) west of London.
In April 2010 a large hoard of third-century Roman coins was unearthed in a field near the town. From AD 950 to 1650, Frome was larger than Bath and originally grew due to the wool and cloth industry. It later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined. Frome was enlarged during the 20th century but still retains a very large number of listed buildings, and most of the centre falls within a conservation area.
Frome has road and rail transport links and acts as an economic centre for the surrounding area. It also provides a centre for cultural and sporting activities, including the annual Frome Festival and Frome Museum. A number of notable individuals were born in, or have lived in, the town. In 2014, Frome was called the sixth coolest town in Britain by The Times newspaper. Frome has recently been shortlisted as one of three towns in the country for the 2016 Urbanism Awards in the 'Great Town Award' category.
The area surrounding the town of Frome is Cornbrash, Oxford Clay and Greensand. Frome is unevenly built on high ground above the River Frome, which is crossed by the 16th century town bridge in the town centre. The main areas of the town are (approximately clockwise from the north-west): Innox Hill, Welshmill, Packsaddle, Fromefield, Stonebridge, Clink, Berkley Down, Easthill, Wallbridge, The Mount, Keyford and Lower Keyford, Marston Gate, The Butts, Critchill, Trinity, and Gould's Ground.
The older parts of Frome – for example, around Sheppard's Barton and Catherine Hill – are picturesque, containing an outstanding collection of small late-17th- and 18th-century houses. The Trinity area, which was built in the latter half of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century, is a fine (and rare) example of early industrial housing. Cheap Street contains buildings dating to the 16th and 17th centuries and has a stream running down the middle fed by the spring at St John's Church. Cheap Street has never been used for vehicular traffic and its layout is based on land plots dating to approximately 1500.
Frome is served by the Bristol to Weymouth railway line which passes the eastern edge of the town. Frome station was opened in 1850 and is one of the oldest railway stations still in operation in Britain, now with direct services to London Paddington. Frome is also served by a number of bus routes.

Britain's 15 'Prettiest Streets' Have Been Revealed - Are Any Of Them Near You
Britain's 15 'Prettiest Streets' Have Been Revealed - Are Any Of Them Near You
The survey of 1,000 people has uncovered the nation’s most charming streets to inspire people to try somewhere new over the Easter weekend
The prettiest streets in Britain have been revealed with winding cobblestones proving a hit with the public.
The top 15 streets up and down the country have been named, according to a survey of 1,000 people across the UK.
In first place is The Shambles, a 14th century market road in York.
Previously the site of a bustling meat market until the nineteenth century, today the quaint street is framed by overhanging timbers dating back some 700 years.
In second place is The Royal Mile in Edinburgh’s Old Town, the oldest part of Scotland’s capital city which still retains some of its medieval layout.
The Georgian Circus in Bath was voted into third place, with its sweeping uniform facade proving popular with visitors.
Tudor-style architecture also features heavily on the list, which boasts clocks, monuments, churches and a host of buildings with character.
The survey was carried out by National Express.
Spokesman Chris Hardy said the company compiled the list in a bid to encourage people to explore more.
He said: “We quizzed the nation, scouring the A to Z of Britain’s roads, rows, avenues and lanes to uncover the top 15 UK streets you need to see.
“A long Bank Holiday weekend is right up everybody’s street so we thought the time was ripe to reveal the UK’s prettiest to inspire people to take somewhere new in their stride this Easter.”
