Tenbury Wells is a compact market town in the Teme Valley, in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. It sits on the banks of the River Teme close to the borders with Herefordshire and Shropshire, giving it a pleasantly rural feel and easy access to rolling countryside and riverside walks.
Historically it developed as a market and trading centre and was later promoted as a Victorian spa after local springs were found, which is why "Wells" appears in the name. Today the town retains a mix of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings, an active market tradition, specialist shops and antiques dealers, and a local economy still shaped by agriculture and the legacy of fruit growing and cider production; it remains popular with visitors exploring the surrounding countryside and enjoying a strong village‑community atmosphere.
