Far Forest is a small village in the district of Wyre Forest in Worcestershire, close to the county boundary with Shropshire and within easy reach of the market towns of Tenbury Wells and Bewdley. It sits on rural lanes surrounded by mixed farmland and the remnant ancient woodland for which the area is named, and feels very much part of the wider Wyre Forest landscape.
Historically the locality has been shaped by woodland management and small‑scale farming, and today it combines a quiet village community with outdoor recreation - walking, cycling and wildlife watching are popular. Economically many residents work locally in agriculture or commute to nearby centres such as Kidderminster and Worcester, so social life blends traditional village ties with easy access to larger town services.
