About

Wribbenhall & Arley ward sits on the eastern bank of the River Severn within the Wyre Forest district. The area encompasses the historic riverside village of Arley and the settlement of Wribbenhall, directly across the river from the town of Bewdley. Its landscape is defined by the river's course and the steep, wooded slopes that rise from its banks, creating a distinct topography. The ward includes sections of the Wyre Forest itself, a large ancient woodland that gives the wider district its name.

Transport links have long shaped the area, with the Severn Valley Railway's heritage steam trains running along the riverbank. Arley is notable for its twin railway stations, one operational for the heritage line and the other a preserved historical structure. The riverfront at Arley features a row of traditional cottages and a boatyard, while inland areas consist of residential streets and community facilities, with the forest providing a consistent woodland backdrop to the north and east.
