Redland Green

Redland Green is a public park with open grass areas and wooded sections that serve as natural habitats for local wildlife. It features a children's play area with climbing equipment and swings, plus tennis courts and a bowling club for adults.

The land once belonged to the manor of Redland, with its name derived from Latin and Norman origins referencing the red soil of the area. The names Rubea Terra and la Rede Londe were used to describe this characteristic earth color.

The Redland May Fair takes place every year on the first Monday of May, drawing street performers and local residents who celebrate this tradition together. The event shapes community life in the area and shows how important this space is to neighbors.

The park is laid out in different zones that are easy to navigate, each offering different activities so visitors can plan their time flexibly. With play areas for children, sports facilities, and open spaces, there is something here for different age groups.

This site was once home to a Bishop's palace that was destroyed during World War II bombing raids. Today the vanished building exists only in historical records and the memory of the area.
