Frome is a small market town in eastern Somerset, England, built on steep sides of the Mendip Hills, surrounded by the River Frome, about 13 miles from Bath. The economic and cultural center of the region for centuries, Frome is known today for its vibrant culture, art galleries, museums, more than 50 boutiques, and magnificent architecture that reflects the town’s rich past. Walk down Cheap Street, one of the best preserved medieval streets in Europe, and stroll along narrow, often cobblestoned streets, elevated walkways, and alleys lined with interesting shops that occupy historic and beautifully preserved buildings. Visit ancient pubs and churches, galleries, and squares and enjoy the true spirit of modern Frome on the first Sunday of the month when the Frome Independent comes to town. This mini festival takes over the entire town with the best local food, drinks, artists, designers, produce, flowers, plants, collectables, home wares, and endless street entertainment.
