About

Hollywood ward is located in the north of the Bromsgrove District in Worcestershire. It is a primarily rural area, encompassing several villages and significant stretches of farmland and woodland. The ward includes the settlements of Hollywood, Bell End, and parts of the larger village of Romsley. The landscape is characterised by rolling countryside and the presence of the Clent Hills to the northwest, which offer walking routes and views across the region.

The area is largely residential within its villages, with local services centred on community halls and pubs. A notable feature is the presence of the ancient Waseley Hills Country Park, which provides extensive outdoor recreation. The M5 motorway runs along the western edge of the ward, providing a major transport link, while the rural lanes maintain a quieter, settled character distinct from the more urban centre of Bromsgrove town itself.
