Arrow Valley Country Park

Although quite busy, this was a nice area to while away an hour or so after a visit to the hospital. The wind off the lake was rather a chill blow but there are several paths, trails and playground amenities for the children too. The cafe also overlooks the lake and offers rest and refreshment to the visitor.
There is plenty of car parking but you might have to adjust your first thought as they are scattered around the parkland.
The wildlife is plentiful and worth a watch as the swans, geese and other birds glide and fly around the water and tree lines.
Family friendly (watch out for the bikes), a good place to spend some time while visiting the area.

Good for exercise 1.25 mile around lake .excellent playground for kids.fishing Good for Carp &,Bream
Nice restaurant for drinks &eats I've now reached the grand old age of 81yrs will be 82 later this year. I'm lucky to be able to walk quite a few miles without any trouble. Will be glad when things get back to normal, and I'm able to take my holidays abroad again. This year it's Devon not Cornwall but looking forward to a holiday

Lovely park with lots of space and loads to do for families with young children. The play areas were very impressive, lots of playground features for babies and youngsters and then a much bigger area with an awesome spiral slide for the bigger kids.

Beautiful scenes if it's not family friendliness you're looking for. The lake is gorgeous and green fields are well kept.

Absolutely stunning park.
Even on a saturday there was so much space to play and have a wonderful picnic on the grass.
We ended up staying for 4 hours. And it was free parking 👍🏻❤️

Love this place! Perfect for the dog to paddle around and for a nice afternoon walk. Easily accessible for wheelchairs, bikes, kids scooters etc as there is a concrete path that goes all the way around the edge. :)

That's such a great nature area located near Redditch. There are 3 trails to choose, by the Lake, Forest or Meadows. A few car parks, making possible for many people's visit. In Country Park are Visitor Center, playground and open spaces for dogs. Valley of river Arrow are beautiful place and local attraction.

Lovely park, walks, amphitheatre, kids play / slide / zip-line and good selection of food, drinks and ice cream on site with clean toilet facilities.

Really enjoyed the events on offer.over the summer holidays (pic of pirate making huge bubbles - great character who got all the kids involved)

Lovely local walk. Flat tarmac path around the lake. A few different routes available. Great children's park/play area all recently done. One for under 4's and one for older children. Cafe serving hot drinks, snacks and ice cream both inside and out with toilets inside. Free parking, multiple car parks.
