Tettenhall Wood

Tettenhall Wood is a suburb of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. It is west of Wolverhampton city centre, within the Tettenhall Wightwick ward. It sits high on a relatively steep hill and it is claimed that the Malvern Hills can be seen from some of the houses located in the area. To its west lies Wightwick, to its south Compton to its east Tettenhall. Also to its north lies the boundary of the West Midlands conobation and also that of Wolverhampton metropolitan authority with South Staffordshire.

Tettenhall Wood is a largely residential area and is relatively affluent, has a low crime rate and elderly population.

The area has two churches: Christ Church and the United Reform Church. It has a small shopping district with a small local supermarket and three public houses lie in the area. A local house of note "The Mount" is situated within the area; it was rebuilt in the late 19th century in English Renaissance style as the seat of the Mander family, baronets, who founded Mander Brothers, paint and varnish manufacturers, in 1773, and were noted public servants and philanthropists in Wolverhampton.

It is served by the 510, 501 and 810 bus routes. The 109-year-old Tettenhall Wood Working Men's Institute (known locally as 'the Institute') is situated in the heart of Tettenhall Wood. The institute caters for local community groups and associations, unusually for such an organisation it is independent of the local council.

Tettenhall Wood also has Christ Church Infants Nursery, which is located in the former Tettenhall Wood Library. Tettenhall Wood is served by a mobile library.
