Frampton Pools (grid reference SO753073) is a 59.84-hectare (147.9-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974.[1][2] The pools are on the edge of the village of Frampton on Severn.[3]

The site is in the Severn Vale and consists of a number of lakes created as a result of gravel extraction. These provide a good open water habitat which is important for wintering wildfowl. The site is mostly standing water which is surrounded by broadleaved woodland, scrub and the margins support marginal vegetation.[1] The larger, deeper northern pit has steep banks and is often subjected to disturbance by sailing, the southern pit is smaller and shallower with well-vegetated banks and is less disturbed.[3] The northern pool is known as Court Lake and has an area of thirty-nine point nine hectares (99 acres) and the southern pool is called Townsfield Lake and has an area of twenty point seven hectares (51 acres).[1] In 2009 funding was secured to improve the conservation condition of the site through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund.[4]
