​Frome (/ˈfruːm/ ⓘ, FROOM) is a town and civil parish in eastern Somerset, England. The town is built on uneven high ground at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills, and centres on the River Frome. The town lies about 13 miles (21 km) south of the City of Bath, with the market towns of both Westbury and Warminster sitting 6.5 miles to the East. It forms part of the parliamentary constituency of Somerton and Frome. The population was 28,559 in 2021.[1]

Frome was one of the largest towns in Somerset until the Industrial Revolution, and was larger than Bath from AD 950 until 1650. The town first grew due to the wool and cloth industry; it later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined. The town was enlarged during the 20th century but retains a large number of listed buildings, and most of the centre falls within a conservation area.

The town has road and rail transport links and acts as an economic centre for the surrounding area. It provides a centre for cultural and sporting activities, including the annual Frome Festival and Frome Museum.

In 2014, Frome was named by The Times the "sixth coolest town" in Britain.[2] It was shortlisted as one of three towns in the country for the 2016 Urbanism Awards in the 'Great Town Award' category.[3] In its 2018 and 2021 report on the "Best places to live in the UK", The Sunday Times listed Frome as the best in the South West.[4] In April 2019, Time Out listed Frome among 15 of the best weekend breaks from London.[5]
