Redding Center sits at the heart of Redding in northern Fairfield County, at the crossroads of Routes 107 and 53. Its character is shaped by a preserved rural landscape of stone walls, gentleman farms, and wooded conservation land on a ridgeline between Ridgefield and Westport. Huntington State Park off Sunset Hill Road delivers 878 acres of glacially sculpted terrain with beaver ponds, hemlock ravines, and rocky summits offering views across the Saugatuck valley. The Saugatuck Valley Trails wind through thousands of acres of protected watershed, producing a rare quality of woodland solitude. Redding Center Village Green and Congregational Church anchor one of Fairfield County’s most perfect expressions of the New England village form.
The dining scene is deliberately modest but rewarding. Spinning Wheel Inn on Black Rock Turnpike serves a reputation-making prime rib in a historic setting. Redding Road House on Route 107 rounds things out with one of northern Fairfield County’s finest burgers and a warmly communal atmosphere.
