Frome Facts Frome is market town in North East Somerset. Frome is well placed to visit the South West of England, within easy reach of Bristol, Bath, Longleat, and Glastonbury. Frome is 88 miles west of London. Though there is evidence of a Roman settlement at Frome, the first permanent settlement at Frome began about 685, when St. Aldhelm, the Abbot of Malmesbury, set up a mission station on the banks of the River Frome. It was then on the edge of Selwood Forest, and was a suitable crossing place over the river, with ample water supplies from springs. It was also a good place from which to service the tracks which used the Mendip Hills/Salisbury Plain gap. Attractions in or near the town include: Frome museum (in the town), Nunney Castle (2 miles from Frome), Longleat safari park (5 miles from Frome) and Wells Cathedral (17 miles).
