Alfrick Pound

Alfrick Pound village is located on the edge of the Malvern Hills area, approximately ten miles west of Worcester near the Suckley Hills and is set in a very rural area.

{{see also|History of Worcestershire}}

It has a very small population of residents and a small number of properties. History tells us that the Alfrick Pound was once an area where stray livestock were held in a pound until the owner was traced or turned up to reclaim them, incurring a small fine in order to do so.

Many of the original houses that stand are half-timbered cottages, an old pub (once called the Wobbly Wheel Inn),{{cite web |last1=Shields |first1=Maxine |title=Wobbly Wheel |url=https://www.francisfrith.com/uk/alfrick-pound/the-wobbly-wheel-pub_memory-332041}} a small village school, bakery and even a small police house. None of these are still used for their original purpose and have been modernised and made into private residences though still revealing their old architecture.

A small lane{{cite web |title=open map data |url=https://map.getthedata.com/local/wr6-5ha.png |website=get the data |access-date=4 February 2020}} opposite the old Wobbly wheel Inn leads up to the Knapp Nature Reserve.{{cite web |title=The Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve |url=https://www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/nature-reserves/knapp-and-papermill |access-date=4 February 2020}}
