The Neighborhood:

You’ll find Parsons Pleck on the outskirts of the Cotswolds, not far from Cheltenham, in a peaceful rural farming village. The house is surrounded by the River Avon and Bredon Hill, with beautiful walks right on your doorstep.



There’s a lovely village pub within walking distance – The Swan Inn – where booking in advance is recommended. You can enjoy its pretty garden and undercover dining areas. Nearby, Revills Farmshop offers fantastic local produce for you to explore.



During the months April to October, on a Friday guests can expect a delivery of fresh, locally grown flowers from Meadow Cut Flowers, right here in the village.



Getting Around:

Birlingham has local bus stops with services linking to nearby towns such as Worcester, Pershore and Evesham, including routes like the 52/53 (Worcester–Eckington via Pershore & Evesham) and 54 (Worcester–Pershore).

The nearest railway stations are:

- Pershore Rail Station (about 5 km away)

- Worcestershire Parkway Rail Station (around 8 km away)

- Ashchurch for Tewkesbury and Evesham stations are also nearby options if you don’t mind a short taxi or bus ride from the station.

You can book local taxis from nearby Pershore and Evesham (e.g., Airport Taxis Evesham, Rod’s Taxis, A1 Travel, etc.) to get around Birlingham and beyond.

Many visitors find having a car easiest for exploring the area, especially for reaching local pubs, villages, countryside walks, and nearby towns. Roads around WR10 3AA are rural but well connected by country lanes.

Birlingham itself is very walkable with local amenities close by, and the surrounding countryside offers scenic walking routes directly from the village.
