Leigh is a small rural civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. Set amid rolling farmland at the edge of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers quiet lanes, hedgerows and panoramic views that make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The area retains strong agricultural roots, with mixed farming forming a steady part of the local economy while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Malvern and Worcester. A sense of history survives in older cottages and the parish church, and village life is kept lively by a village hall, local clubs and occasional community events that sustain a close‑knit rural character.
