A Note from Our Vendors

“Weir Green is a wonderfully peaceful part of the quiet rural village of Elmore, set on the banks of the River Severn. We are surrounded by open countryside and enjoy the most beautiful, ever-changing views across the river and surrounding fields towards Gloucester Cathedral.

“We have loved living in this very special family home for nearly 50 years, watching it evolve alongside our family and creating so many treasured memories here. It has been an incredibly difficult decision to leave, but the time has come for us to move to somewhere a little smaller.

“There are lovely country walks directly from the door, particularly along the Severn Way or through the village to the award-winning Wholly Gelato at Barhouse Farm. For those who enjoy cycling, there is also a pleasant seven-mile circular route along quiet country lanes through Longney and back home
