Upper Framilode, Gloucestershire Weather
About Upper Framilode, Gloucestershire
Upper Framilode catches the low, silver light of the Severn estuary, where the heavy river currents once fed the ambitions of local maritime trade. It lies 4.5 miles north-west of Stonehouse (from Stonehouse: bearing 312°T, OS grid SO 751 102), and is situated north-north-east of Saul village. The landscape here bows to the pull of the tides, with the quiet expanse of Rodley Sands stretching out as a shifting, silt-laden mosaic of mudflats and reed beds. A short distance away, the waters of the Epney Rhyne trace a deliberate, dark line through the flat pastures, reflecting the vast and heavy skies of the Gloucestershire lowlands. Upper Framilode retains the sturdy character of its industrial past, when the junction of the Stroudwater Navigation and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal brought the clamour of barges to these quiet banks. Near the northern periphery, the Crown Point wetland serves as a sanctuary for seasonal waterfowl, their cries punctuating the stillness of the sodden, verdant meadows. The architecture of the older houses faces the river with a stoic grace, fashioned from materials that seem to have been drawn directly from the surrounding clay and stone. Time here is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, rhythmic rising of the water and the persistent, salt-tinged breeze that sweeps across the vale.
