Astwood Bank is a village on the northern edge of Redditch in Worcestershire, England. Sitting on slightly higher ground than the town, it still retains a fairly rural feel with surrounding farmland, small woodlands and attractive walking country - historically this area lay close to the old bounds of Feckenham Forest and the village offers decent views across the Vale towards nearby hills.
Once a community tied into the agricultural life of the area and the small‑scale trades that grew around Redditch in the 19th century, today Astwood Bank is a mix of long‑standing village families and commuters, with local shops, pubs and community groups anchoring social life. Its location gives good road and bus links into Birmingham and the wider West Midlands while still feeling distinctly villagey, popular with walkers and people seeking quieter local living outside the larger towns.
