Cofton is a ward in the district of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, England, sitting where suburban fringe meets open countryside on the edge of the West Midlands. The area combines residential neighbourhoods and rural lanes, with easy access to notable green spaces such as the Lickey Hills Country Park, and good road links into Birmingham and the wider region via the M42 and A38.
Locally there’s a strong village feel with small shops, a village hall and community groups alongside a commuter population who travel to nearby towns for work; a few remaining farms and local businesses add to the mixed economy. The ward also contains pockets of historic buildings and parish amenities, and regular community and conservation activities help preserve its semi‑rural character.
