Ribbesford is a small, mainly rural parish in the district of Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, England, tucked into the Severn valley just a short distance from Bewdley and within easy reach of Kidderminster. The landscape is a mix of pasture, hedged fields and pockets of ancient woodland, with the nearby River Severn and the larger Wyre Forest offering popular walking and wildlife-watching opportunities.

The area is notable for its historic buildings, including the timbered manor known as Ribbesford House and the medieval parish church of St Leonard's Church, which reflect a long local history centred on agriculture and estate life. Today the community combines farming with a modest commuter and visitor economy, and its quiet lanes and heritage make it a draw for people interested in countryside walks and local history.
