Elmley Castle is a civil parish located in Worcestershire, England. It lies approximately 10 miles southeast of the city of Worcester and is situated on the eastern bank of the River Avon. The village itself is small, with a population of around 300 residents.

The name "Elmley Castle" is derived from a motte-and-bailey castle that once stood in the area during the medieval period. Today, only the earthworks of the castle remain, but they serve as a reminder of the village's historical significance.

The parish is primarily rural and characterized by its picturesque countryside, rolling hills, and charming cottages. It is surrounded by farmland, and agriculture plays a significant role in the local economy.

The pub not only serves as a gathering place for locals but also attracts visitors who come to enjoy its traditional English atmosphere.

The village is known for its strong sense of community and hosts various events throughout the year, such as the Elmley Castle Open Gardens event, where residents open their gardens to the public.

Overall, Elmley Castle is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers residents and visitors a tranquil rural setting amidst the beautiful Worcestershire countryside.
