Blackwell is a small village in the district of Bromsgrove, in Worcestershire, England. Sitting in gently rolling countryside it benefits from being within commuting distance of Birmingham and Worcester, so it combines a rural feel with good road and rail links to larger towns.
Historically the village grew from agricultural roots and small-scale local industry, and it still retains a compact community character with traditional cottages, a parish hall and local clubs that stage fairs and events. The local economy is a mix of services, farming and residents who commute outwards, while conservation of period buildings and nearby green spaces give Blackwell a strong village identity.
