Fremington is a hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The hamlet is almost joined to Reeth and Grinton.
Though considered a mere hamlet itself, Fremington is split into Low Fremington, which is built along the B6270, and High Fremington, which is a scattering of houses running up towards Fremington Edge.
The name 'Fremington' is from the Old English words Freminga tun, meaning 'Frema's people's farmstead'. It appears as Fremington in the Domesday Book of 1086.[1]
