Stevenage, Hertfordshire
Stevenage is a very leafy area and the Woodland Trust has gathered data which shows only places such as the Forest of Dean have as much easy access to large woodlands. There are several parks on offer for those who enjoy walking. Fairlands Valley is a large area which has boating lakes and there is also the ancient semi-natural woodland, Monks and Whomerley Wood. Officially classed as a new town in 1946, under the New Towns Act, the area has developed its own sense of community and culture.

Stevenage is located in Hertfordshire close to both Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City and to junctions 7 and 8 of the A1. The town also has a railway station and is on the East Coast Mainline. There are many cyclists in the town who take advantage of the area’s network of completely segregated cycle tracks. Interestingly, Stevenage is home to some of the tallest street-lights in Britain.
