Himley is a small parish and village in South Staffordshire, Staffordshire, England, sitting on the edge of the West Midlands metropolitan area a few miles from Dudley and Wolverhampton and within easy commuting distance of Birmingham. The parish is best known for Himley Hall, an 18th-century country house set in extensive landscaped parkland with a lake, woodland walks and public open space that hosts occasional events and concerts.
Historically the estate was associated with the Earls of Dudley and the area combines a rural, parkland character with the realities of being close to heavy industrial heartlands, so many residents commute to nearby towns while the village retains local clubs, community activities and an agricultural feel. The hall and park provide a cultural and social focus, giving Himley a distinctly green and historic identity despite its proximity to urban centres.
