Kempsey is a village and civil parish in the district of Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, England, lying a few miles south of Worcester on the eastern fringe of the hills and close to the meanders of the River Severn. Its location blends low-lying agricultural land with easy access to the rolling countryside of the Malverns, so it attracts both commuters and visitors looking for outdoor recreation.
The village has medieval roots and a compact centre with a parish church, local pubs, a primary school and active community groups; farming remains important alongside more recent housing and commuters who use the nearby motorway and A‑roads to reach Worcester and beyond. Kempsey’s mix of historic buildings, community events and countryside setting gives it a distinctly rural Worcestershire character while still feeling connected to larger urban amenities.
