Hanley is a small, predominantly rural parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England, centred on the village of Hanley Castle and the nearby hamlet of Hanley Swan. It lies amid rolling farmland on the western fringes of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is within easy reach of the River Severn and towns such as Worcester, Malvern and Ledbury.
The parish is marked by its historic associations with a medieval castle (visible in local place‑names and earthworks) and a long‑standing school that bears the castle’s name. The local economy remains largely agricultural, complemented by small businesses and commuters, while village life is sustained by parish organisations, pubs and community events that help preserve the area’s historic buildings and attractive countryside setting.
