Kempsey is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England, lying a few miles south of Worcester. Set on the low-lying floodplain with views towards the Malvern Hills and close to the A38 and M5, it occupies a convenient spot between market towns and countryside, making it a popular commuter base while still retaining a distinctly rural feel.
There is a long history here, visible in a medieval parish church and scattered earlier finds, and the local economy still leans on farming alongside small businesses, pubs and village services. Community life is lively for a village of its size, with a village hall, primary school and regular events, while proximity to the River Severn has shaped both the landscape and occasional flood risk that residents manage.
