About

Lickhill ward sits along the western edge of Stourport-on-Severn, bordered by the River Severn to the north and east. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments ranging from post-war estates to more modern builds. It contains several local amenities, including primary schools and shopping parades catering to daily needs. The ward's landscape is gently undulating, with residential streets giving way to more open, green spaces on its fringes.

A significant portion of the ward is occupied by the Lickhill Manor Caravan Park, a large holiday site situated on a peninsula formed by a loop in the River Severn. This presence influences the local character, especially during peak seasons. Public footpaths provide access to the riverbanks and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, offering walking routes disconnected from the main residential zones.
