Elmley Castle is a fascinating piece of English history located just 12 miles southeast of the city of Worcester in Worcestershire. This fortification dates back all the way to the 11th century and consists of earthworks and timber construction, plus additions of stone in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its picturesque location perched atop Bredon Hill allows visitors to take in the gorgeous countryside surrounding it. Here, you can explore the ruins while picturing what the castle must have looked like when it was bustling with activity!
