Clent is a small rural parish in the district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, in England, set around the famous Clent Hills. The rolling sandstone hills, including Walton Hill and Wychbury Hill, give dramatic panoramas across the Severn Valley and towards Birmingham, and are popular with walkers; parts are cared for by the National Trust and notable local features include the church of St Kenelm's Church and the Wychbury obelisk on the skyline.
Historically an agricultural community, Clent now mixes traditional cottages and farms with commuter households and small local businesses, while retaining village amenities such as a pub, a primary school and seasonal fetes. The landscape and heritage attract day-trippers and outdoor enthusiasts, so conservation and community activities play an important role in local life.
