Forthampton Gloucestershire Map

About Forthampton

Forthampton, a quiet corner of Gloucestershire, unfolds with a gentle grace. It lies 3.6 km west of Tewkesbury (from Tewkesbury: bearing 270°T, OS grid SO 856 326), and is situated south-south-west of Bushley Green village. The River Avon, a silver thread in the landscape, flows nearby, its waters reflecting the broad skies that often hang with a soft, diffused light. Here, the ancient parish church of St. Andrew stands as a silent sentinel, its stone weathered by centuries of wind and rain, a testament to the enduring spirit of the place. Fields of green, the colour of deep emerald, stretch outwards, punctuated by hedgerows that trace the contours of the land like old scars. The air carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant woodsmoke, a fragrance that speaks of a life lived close to the ground.
