Beckford is a small village and civil parish in the district of Wychavon in Worcestershire, England. It sits close to the Gloucestershire border in the rolling countryside around Bredon Hill and the Vale of Evesham, an area long associated with market gardening and orchards.
The village retains a historic core of stone and timber buildings and lies close to the Cotswold Line, where the 19th‑century Beckford Tunnel is a local landmark. Today the local economy still reflects agriculture alongside commuters working in nearby market towns such as Evesham and Tewkesbury, and the community maintains the village hall, events and amenities typical of rural Worcestershire life.
