Wyre Forest Rural is a largely rural ward in the district of Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, in England. It lies around the fringes of the native woodland and mixed farmland that give the area its character: rolling fields, hedgerows and lanes with access to patches of ancient forest. The landscape is popular with walkers and nature enthusiasts and retains a mosaic of small villages and hamlets rather than any large urban centre.
Locally the economy leans on agriculture, forestry and small-scale local businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Kidderminster. Historic parish churches, village halls and community groups help sustain a distinctly local social life, and conservation interests are strong because of the proximity to important woodland habitats and traditional rural scenery.
