Ambridge (The Archers)

Ambridge (The Archers)

Ambridge is a fictional village and the setting for most of the action in "The Archers", a long-running serial drama on BBC Radio 4.

Ambridge is located on the banks of the (fictional) River Am, in the (fictional) county of Borsetshire, which is located somewhere in the English south Midlands. Publicity photographs for the programme occasionally use real locations, frequently in Worcestershire, as the studio that produces the series is located nearby in Birmingham — the local pub "The Bull" is modelled on a public house in the Worcestershire village of Inkberrow, and photos showing the "Bull" are actually of the Inkberrow pub.
