About

Spennells and Hoobrook form a residential and industrial district on the southeastern edge of Kidderminster within the Wyre Forest. The area is primarily characterised by modern housing estates and significant business parks, including the large Hoobrook Industrial Estate. This provides a major local employment base alongside the residential streets. The landscape is generally flat, with the land gradually sloping towards the River Stour which runs along the area's southern boundary.

The residential parts are largely self-contained, with local schools and shops serving the community. A notable feature is the Spennells Valley Nature Reserve, a green corridor with meadows and woodland that follows a brook through the housing. This offers walking routes and a contrast to the built environment. The area is well-connected by major roads like the A449, linking it directly to Kidderminster town centre and the wider motorway network.
