WITHIN a short pleasant drive from the Stroud, Cirencester and Dursley area lies the quintessentially English village of Elmley Castle near Pershore. Dubbed one of the UK s prettiest villages, it sits at the foot of Bredon Hill and features an array of scenic walks. It s a visual treat to wander down the wide tree lined main street, where picturesque half-timbered thatched cottages sit back from the road. But now there s another reason to visit - fabulous food - as it now boasts one of the country s best eateries. The Queen Elizabeth Inn in Main Street was this week named one of the best in the country by the Good Food Awards 2021.
