Elmley Castle is often referred to as the prettiest village in Worcestershire, even England, and for good reason. Its beautiful half-timbered cottages and tree-lined streets make it a Cotswold favourite. Discover a historic church, lovely old pub, The Queen Elizabeth Inn, and plenty of nature walks nearby.
