The Visit England judges cited its contribution to the local community and the impact on the local tourism economy to distinguish National Trust owned The Fleece from the other finalists.

The Fleece Inn’s landlord Nigel Smith accepted the Award at the ceremony in Blackpool, joined on the stage by members of The Fleece’s winning team.  He comments: “We work really hard to give visitors to the pub a welcoming, historic and all round enjoyable experience.  The Fleece has a wonderful and rich history, and a stunning location in beautiful rural Worcestershire – I owe it to the pub and all the landlords that have gone before me to keep this quintessentially English atmosphere and offering going strong.  Thanks must go to the entire team at The Fleece.  They do an amazing job every day, and this and our other 2 recent awards are testament to this.”
