Known for
The most independent town in England (Frome elected an independent town council with no party politics), the Cheese Show, the extraordinary independent food and arts scene, and a Somerset market town that's become a byword for radical community spirit
A little history
Frome's independent town council, elected in 2011 with no party political candidates, has become a model for independent community politics across Britain. The Frome Cheese Show is one of Somerset's great agricultural events. The town's medieval Cheap Street — with a water channel running down the middle — is one of Somerset's finest.
Cheap Street with its central water channel is extraordinary. The Frome Cheese Show in September is excellent. The independent shops and food are outstanding. The River Frome walk. Catherine Hill for independent retail.
