If you're looking for a slice of rural life without giving up your links to the city, you'll find that Lime Grove in Norton gives you the very best of both worlds.

Nestling between Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, the parish of Norton is made up of the three hamlets of Norton, Bishop's Norton and Prior's Norton.  It is conveniently located just off the A38, combining rural charm with easy access to surrounding towns and areas.  Lime Grove is situated on the picturesque Wainlode Lane, offering fantastic views of the River Severn.

With a population of around 440, you'll find a strong sense of community in Norton.  Central to village life are the Church of England Primary School, thriving pre-school and active church and village hall.  There's also a highly regarded inn with restaurant in the centre of the village as well as a popular river-side pub on Wainlode Lane, offering fantastic views of the River Severn.

The banks of the River Severn pose great opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast.  As well as scenic picnic spots, there are leisurely walking and cycling routes and activities such as fishing and boating.  Far-reaching views and an array of wildlife make this an idyllic peaceful setting.  Away from the River, there are even more opportunities for recreation, with thriving rugby and cricket clubs and the Gloucester Clay Pigeon Shooting Club.

While there's plenty to do in and around the village, Norton is also extremely well connected to the bustling towns of Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury thanks to its proximity to the M5 and other major routes.
