Hartlebury & Wychbold

Hartlebury and Wychbold form a primarily rural area in the north of Wychavon. The landscape is defined by the River Severn, which forms its western boundary, and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal running through it. Agriculture and scattered settlements characterise the land, with Hartlebury historically centered around its castle. The area includes the large retail and leisure complex at Wychbold, known as the Webbs Garden Centre and associated attractions, which draws visitors from a wider region.

The local geography is relatively flat, part of the fertile floodplain of the Severn Valley. Hartlebury Common, a notable area of lowland heath, provides a distinct habitat within the otherwise agricultural setting. Transport corridors like the A38 and A449 roads are significant features, linking the area to Worcester and Droitwich. The presence of the canal offers a quieter route for narrowboats and walking, contrasting with the main road networks.
