This photograph was taken during a cycle ride. Bluebells have become quite a rarity these days.

The houses on the right have just been tarted up. {could be Council property ? }

Novotel / Knebworth Park.

Just off the A1(M) this is at the entrance of Knebworth Park home to "rock concerts through the ages". The hotel has a helipad in its grounds. Better access that by A1(M)

Six Hills

OK do you believe the OS who say that these features are tumuli or legend which says that these humps are lumps of soil thrown at travellers on the old Great North Road (just to the right of these humps but rather imposing nowadays)? It is said that these were thrown here from Weston Woods (TL2432 and TL2532). Dick Turpin would have ridden past these on Black Bess on his ride from York to London.

Access to Homewood off Codicote Road Welwyn

The sign is just a tad on the naff side. Not sure what Homewood is

The Node Conference Centre off B656

This estate is quite large and has many points of interest but is private.

Cottage on access road to Burleigh Farm

The design tells me that it was built as cheaply as possible. For the farm worker I guess.
