Redditch

The landscape around Redditch is gently rolling, with the River Arrow running through its southern side, which has shaped both the town’s layout and industrial past. In Worcestershire, south of Birmingham, Redditch grew into an international centre of needle manufacture; that heritage is interpreted at Forge Mill Needle Museum. The town was designated a New Town in 1964, and planned post-war neighbourhoods now stand alongside older districts and a retail-focused centre. Arrow Valley Country Park forms a substantial green corridor around the river and its lake.
