Hanley Castle is a small village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England, set on fertile lowlands a few miles from the River Severn and within easy reach of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement takes its name from a medieval castle whose earthworks and moated site remain a visible reminder of its history, and the surrounding landscape is a patchwork of farmland, orchards and small rural businesses.
Community life revolves around a long‑established village school, church and village hall, with local events reflecting Worcestershire's rural traditions; visitors and walkers are drawn by the peaceful countryside and historic features. Economically the area remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Worcester, while the attractive setting helps sustain a modest rural tourism and residential appeal.
