Critchill Manor Estate is positioned perfectly between the buzzing hub of Frome and the picturesque village of Nunney. It’s a great launchpad to enjoy the attractions and events both have to offer.
Frome has experienced a huge regeneration over the last 15 years, turning itself from a historical but relatively quiet market town into a thriving community renowned for its independent politics; its huge monthly market; its artisan industry; its innovation and social enterprise culture and much more. Widely credited in national media as one of the Top 10 places to live in the UK, Frome continues to grow and change as the years go by.
