The village of Romsley, Worcestershire, England, is on the east side of the Clent Hills about 4 miles south of Halesowen.
It is notable for St. Kenelm church. The church has a nave that continues directly into the chancel, both of the 12th century and built of red sandstone, a greenish sandstone 15th century tower, and a timber porch. The chancel is built over a crypt that once contained the shrine of St Kenelm.
The Village is blessed with its beautiful countryside and is very popular for walking on the Clent and Walton Hills and camping and caravanning on the well known, and liked, Cuckoos Corner site.
