Nb: In all just over an acre.

Elmley Castle is in many ways the quintessential English village. The main street – wide and tree lined with traditional black and white cottages and an historic pub – leads up to the 11th Century church. Within easy walking distance there is an excellent primary school, village hall, playing field and cricket club. The village nestles beneath the northern slopes of Bredon Hill, a Cotswolds outcrop over which there are numerous paths and bridleways. Secondary schools and comprehensive amenities for every day needs can be found in the nearby market towns of Pershore (4 miles) and Evesham (7 miles). Worcester and Cheltenham offer more extensive shopping, leisure facilities and a wider choice of schools. The mainline railway stations at Pershore and Evesham provide a direct train service to London Paddington and the M5 junctions at Worcester and Tewkesbury are approximately 9 miles away.
