Himley is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England. Set on rolling countryside just to the west of the West Midlands conurbation, it lies close to towns such as Dudley and Wolverhampton and is a convenient commuter spot for Birmingham. The village is centred on extensive parkland with a lake and well used footpaths, giving it a semi‑rural feel despite easy access to nearby urban centres.
The focal point is Himley Hall, an elegant country house with historic landscaped grounds that act as the community’s green lung and host occasional events, weddings and local activities. Locally the economy is largely residential with some leisure and small business activity; socially it combines a quiet village atmosphere and strong local identity with the cultural and employment pull of the surrounding Midlands towns and cities.
