Powick and the Hanleys is a largely rural ward in Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, England, made up of traditional villages such as Powick, Hanley Castle and Hanley Swan. Sitting on the southern approaches to the Malvern Hills and within easy reach of Worcester, it combines commuter-friendly links with a patchwork of farms, orchards and smallholdings.
The area has a strong local identity rooted in history and community life: the skirmish at Powick Bridge in the Civil War, the footprint of the old Powick psychiatric hospital and the medieval earthworks around Hanley Castle are all part of the story, while village fêtes, conservation-minded housing and a modest local economy based on agriculture, small businesses and tourism keep it lively.
