Other Walks
Please note that these are given on an ‘as-is’ basis and may not be up tp date.Archived RedditchWalks
I have decided to concentrate on the Redditch Town and Arrow Valley history walks. I will not therefore be updating other walks I have developed. Most were last updated in 2010. These are available on as ‘as is’’ not updated basis. The walks are the following…. • Local Area Walk Beoley • Local Area Walk Tardebigge • Local District Walk Church Hill • Local District Walk Church hill to BeoleyDevelopment Corporation
In the early days of the Redditch Development Corporation they produced a document showing short walks of between 2 and 3 miles around the town and local area. These are produced here in their original form, date from the 1970s and some areas have changed significantly since that time.. (please note that these are scanned from the original as PDFs and are quite large (1.5 to 2 Mb) • walk 1 - Woodrow Centre to Town Centre • walk 2 - Arrow Valley Park North • walk 3 - Ipsley and Matchborough • walk 4 - Woodrow Centre to StudleyRedditch Borough Council
There are a number of circular walks which were provided by the the Redditch Borough Council. These start and finish at the Arrow Valley Country Park. They are not necessarily updated. • Woodland Trail: ½ mile walk through woodland. • Meadows Trail: 1½ trail through meadowland • Lakeside Trail: a 1 mile walk around the Arrow Valley lake. • Millers Trail: a 2 mile route along the River Arrow to the Forge Mill Needle Museum.
