Arrow Valley Park is a four-kilometre long swathe of naturalistic open space through the east side of Redditch. Here it is at its narrowest, crossed by the fast A4023 dual carriageway. In old Redditch important roads radiated from the heart of the town but in the development of the New Town they were rerouted well away from the town centre, upgraded and landscaped. You can drive through Redditch and believe you are in woodland, hardly seeing a building.
