Earl's Croome is a small, quiet rural parish in the district of Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, England, set in the Severn valley just a short drive from the market town of Upton-upon-Severn. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows and lanes, with low-lying fields near the River Severn and attractive views towards the surrounding countryside, making it popular with walkers and riders exploring nearby country estates such as Croome Court.
Historically the parish has close associations with the great estates and local gentry, and that legacy shows in a scattering of old farmhouses, cottages and a small parish church. The local economy remains largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to larger towns; socially it retains a tight-knit village feel with small community activities and an emphasis on conserving the rural character. Occasionally the lower-lying land can be affected by winter flooding from the river.
