Frankley is a small civil parish in the district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, lying on the south‑western edge of Birmingham. The area mixes rolling farmland and lanes with the substantial Frankley Reservoir, offering open water, woods and popular walking and birdwatching spots; its position on the urban–rural fringe is underlined by the nearby M5 and surrounding business parks.
Historically agricultural and linked to Birmingham’s Victorian infrastructure, part of the old Frankley area was later absorbed into the city as New Frankley, but the Worcestershire parish retains a village feel with a small community, local church and village hall hosting occasional events. Many residents commute to jobs in the neighbouring urban areas, so the parish combines a quiet rural character with strong economic and social ties to the nearby city.
