Curborough and Elmhurst is a compact, largely rural civil parish just to the north-east of Lichfield in Staffordshire, on the edge of the West Midlands urban fringe. It is characterised by farmland, hedged lanes and scattered farmsteads rather than a single dominant village, and is perhaps best known locally for the historic Curborough Sprint Course, a small motorsport venue that hosts sprints and testing and gives the area an unusual sporting profile for such a quiet landscape.
The built heritage is modest but pleasant - period cottages, working farms and a few listed buildings - and the economy remains a mix of agriculture and residents who commute into nearby Lichfield and further afield. Community life is small scale, organised around the parish council and local events, and the parish appeals to walkers and those seeking a peaceful countryside setting within easy reach of city amenities.
