About

Ashwood is a residential district situated in the southeastern part of Dudley, bordering the larger suburbs of Wordsley and Pedmore. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older, inter-war semi-detached homes, offering a primarily suburban living environment. Its street layout is functional, with local shops and services concentrated along main routes like Ashwood Park Road, catering to daily needs.

The landscape is gently undulating, with several small green spaces and playing fields integrated into the housing developments. A notable local feature is the proximity to the Ashwood Marina, a basin off the main Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which provides a focus for leisure and a distinct waterside aspect not common across the borough. Transport links are provided by bus services connecting to Dudley town centre and neighbouring Stourbridge.
