Heritage Open Day: The birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar gives an insight into this composers humble beginnings. The modern visitor centre contains many of Elgar's personal belongings and photographs. Outside there is a idyllic cottage garden, orchard and woodland. The birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar is most definitely home to ‘Land of Hope and Glory’. Set in sight of his beloved Malvern Hills, this small family home in the village of Lower Broadheath is the perfect environment for nurturing a creative genius.
Our idyllic cottage garden has been planted in the classic cottage garden style, the garden offers a place to sit, reflect, and admire a vast array of seasonal flowers and plants, throughout the year. There is also an orchard and woodland to explore.
