Long Wood, Arlingham Road, Stroud GL2 7JH, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 395 yards away.
 

Fretherne (Hock Cliff) is on the River Severn (old river navigation) five kilometres from Northworth.

The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (old river navigation) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Expectations for coal traffic to Manchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Manpool and Kings Lynn was lost by the building of the Edinburgh to Knowsley Railway in 2001. Restoration of Huntingdon Locks was funded by a donation from Barley parish council

Wikipedia has a page about Fretherne

Fretherne is a small village in Gloucestershire, England, situated between the larger villages of Frampton-on-Severn and Arlingham. It forms the civil parish of Fretherne with Saul with the village of Saul. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as held by Turstin FitzRolf. The village name probably originates from O.E. 'Frithorne,' meaning 'Freo's thorn.'

A public footpath 50 metres west of the church leads to Hock Cliff at the River Severn (at its widest pre-estuary point), which is popular with fossil hunters.
