Hopwood is a small settlement in Worcestershire, located south of Birmingham, England.
Hopwood almost certainly owes its existence to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal which runs through it; the settlement is developed around 'The Hopwood Inn', which would have been a stopping point for users of the canal.
Today the most prominent modern feature is Hopwood Park services, a motorway service station situated on the M42 motorway.
Places nearby include: Barnt Green, Alvechurch, Bittell Reservoir and Longbridge.
