Stone is a small civil parish and village in the district of Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, lying a few miles north‑west of Kidderminster and within easy reach of Worcester. The parish covers a mix of rolling farmland, hedgerow‑lined lanes and pockets of older woodland on the edge of the Wyre Forest area; nearby stretches of the River Stour and a network of public footpaths make it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
Historically agricultural with roots back to the medieval period, the village still shows its past in a handful of historic cottages, farm buildings and a parish church, while the local economy is now a blend of farming, small businesses and commuters working in surrounding towns. Community life tends to be centred on the village hall, parish council and local clubs and events, giving Stone a compact, close‑knit rural character.
