Welcome to Purton

Purton is a small village located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Severn and is known for its rich history and beautiful scenery. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is surrounded by lush green fields and rolling hills.

One of the most notable features of Purton is the Purton Hulks, a collection of abandoned ships that have been deliberately beached along the riverbank. These ships were used as a barrier to protect the riverbank from erosion and have now become a popular tourist attraction. The village also has a number of historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. John the Evangelist Church and the Purton Manor, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 16th century.

Purton is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With its stunning natural beauty and rich history, it is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Whether you are interested in exploring the Purton Hulks, visiting historic landmarks, or simply enjoying the tranquil countryside, Purton has something to offer everyone.
