Kempsey is a village and ward in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England, lying roughly four miles south of Worcester. It sits close to the floodplain of the River Severn and alongside the busy A38 arterial road, making it both a rural community of farmland and hedgerows and a popular commuter base for nearby towns and the Malvern Hills area.
The settlement has a long history with a medieval church at its heart, traditional village pubs and a village school, while its local economy mixes agriculture, small businesses and some light industry on the outskirts. Community groups and events keep a strong village identity, even as new housing and commuter traffic reshape social and economic life.
