Wyre Forest Rural

About

Wyre Forest Rural ward covers a large area of countryside in the Wyre Forest district, known for its mix of farmland, woodland, and small villages. The ward includes settlements like Far Forest, Rock, and Bliss Gate, which are surrounded by rolling fields and patches of ancient woodland. The landscape is shaped by agriculture and forestry, with scattered farms and narrow country lanes connecting the communities.

The area is part of the wider Wyre Forest, a historic woodland that gives the district its name. The River Severn forms part of the western boundary, adding to the natural features of the ward. Local amenities are limited, with residents often travelling to nearby towns like Bewdley or Kidderminster for services. The ward has a quiet, rural character, with a focus on outdoor activities such as walking and cycling through the countryside.
