About the town » Inkberrow, Worcestershire, England, Great Britain

Inkberrow is a village in the district of Wychavon, Worcestershire that is often thought to be the model for Ambridge, the setting of the BBC Radio 4 long-running radio serialisation or soap opera The Archers. In particular 'The Bull', the fictional Ambridge pub, is supposed to be based on a very real pub, the Old Bull, in Inkberrow. It is at this historic public house or wayside inn, a black and white half-timbered building, that William Shakespeare is reputed to have stayed while on his way to Worcester to collect his marriage certificate. Also in the village, there is a post office, a small shop called the Forge Shop and a restaurant–bar called the Bull's Head. The village's parish church is dedicated to St. Peter and contains the Savage family chapel. In 2006 Inkberrow was awarded the title of Worcestershire Village of the Year 2006 and winner of the Building Community Life section of the competition
