Hartlebury

Hartlebury ward encompasses the village of Hartlebury and its immediate rural surroundings in northern Wychavon. The area is characterised by a mix of residential housing and agricultural land, with the River Severn forming its western boundary. The landscape is largely flat, typical of the Worcestershire countryside, supporting farming activities. Hartlebury itself functions as a local service centre for the community, containing essential amenities.

The ward is historically significant, centred around Hartlebury Castle, which has been the residence of the Bishops of Worcester for centuries. The castle grounds and associated parkland contribute to the area's green spaces. Transport links are defined by the A449 road and the Birmingham to Hereford railway line, which runs through the parish. This infrastructure connects the ward to larger settlements like Kidderminster and Worcester, while maintaining a distinct village character.
