Redditch, Worcestershire.
Created | Updated Oct 20, 2010
Redditch is a small town in Worcestershire, England. There may be others; Americans have a habit of re-using English place names.
Although Redditch has been around for at least a couple of hundred years, it has achieved 'New Town' status through building a lot of new houses over the last couple of decades. There are more new housing estates than old town. The roads between the estates have been designed, in theory, with cars in mind, with lots of dual carriageways. However, most people I know reckon that Redditch is impossible to drive around. It is also virtually impossible to walk from place to place unless you live in the old town area, because of the dual carriageways.
Redditch has no stately homes, castles, zoos or similar places of interest. There is one museum, a couple of parks and a 10-pin bowling place.
