Elmley Castle is a small village and parish in the district of Wychavon, Worcestershire, England, set in a gently rolling agricultural landscape beneath the northern slopes of Bredon Hill and within easy reach of Pershore and Evesham. The surrounding countryside of hedged fields and orchards gives views down into the River Avon valley and makes it popular with walkers exploring the local lanes and footpaths.
The settlement grew up around the earthworks of a medieval castle linked to the Beauchamp family and the later Earls of Warwick, though little survives above ground apart from mounds and fragments; the parish church remains a local focal point. Today Elmley Castle is a quiet, close-knit rural community where farming still plays a big role, complemented by residents who commute to nearby towns and an active interest in conserving the village’s historic character.
