Welcome to Himley

Himley is a small village located in the county of Staffordshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles south-west of Dudley and 5 miles north-west of Stourbridge. The village is known for its picturesque surroundings, including the Himley Hall and Park, which is a popular tourist attraction. The hall was built in the 18th century and is surrounded by 180 acres of parkland, which includes a lake, gardens, and woodland.

Himley has a rich history, dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Himelie". The name is believed to have originated from the Old English words "hymele" and "leah", which mean "a meadow frequented by bees". The village was once a thriving mining community, with several coal mines operating in the area. However, the mines were closed in the 1960s, and the village has since become a popular residential area.

Today, Himley is a peaceful and tranquil village, with a close-knit community. The village has a range of amenities, including a primary school, a post office, and a village hall. There are also several pubs and restaurants in the area, which serve traditional English cuisine. Himley is well-connected to the surrounding areas, with good transport links to Dudley, Stourbridge, and Wolverhampton. Overall, Himley is a charming village that offers a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and modern amenities.
