Drakes Broughton and Wadborough are two neighbouring villages and a civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England, set in the gently rolling countryside of the Vale of Evesham. The area has historic roots visible in older stone and brick buildings and a traditional parish church, and benefits from easy road links towards Worcester and Pershore, with the wider landscape still influenced by market gardening and mixed farming.
Locally the settlements combine a quiet, rural character with a strong community feel: village halls, clubs, a pub or two and sports facilities anchor social life, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work or run small local businesses. The parish’s blend of agricultural heritage, accessible location and active village life makes it typical of Worcestershire villages that have adapted to modern commuting patterns while keeping local traditions alive.
