About Highley

Highley, a Shropshire village, holds its ground in the West Midlands. It lies 9.3 km north-north-west of Bewdley (from Bewdley: bearing 331°T, OS grid SO 741 834), and is situated north-north-east of Netherton village. The land around Highley rolls with a quiet resilience, hinting at the agricultural past that shaped its contours, where the light often catches the mist rising from the Severn Valley. Its history is not shouted from grand monuments, but whispered in the sturdy brickwork of its older houses, a testament to generations who worked the earth and, for a time, the coal seams beneath. There is a practical, unvarnished beauty to Highley, a sense of a place that has seen its share of industry and now finds a more placid rhythm. The River Severn, a constant, powerful presence to the south-east, has always been a significant artery, influencing the very character and connectivity of Highley.
