Brocket Hall gates Looking south from TL218139 to the gates of Brocket Hall - home of convicted fraudster and annoying D-list reality TV celeb Lord Brocket. Most of the rest of the grid square South of here is private, and judging by the spikes, CCTV and "STOP" notices I don't think he'll let you in.

Conduit Field, located in Hertfordshire, is a picturesque wooded area commonly referred to as a forest. Spanning approximately 200 acres, this natural oasis is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike.

The forest boasts a diverse range of tree species, including oak, birch, ash, and beech, which create a stunning canopy that provides shelter and shade. The woodland floor is adorned with an array of wildflowers and ferns, adding to the enchanting ambiance of the area.

Conduit Field is crisscrossed by numerous walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the forest at their own pace. The paths meander through the woods, leading to hidden clearings, babbling brooks, and tranquil ponds. Along the way, hikers may spot various wildlife species, such as squirrels, rabbits, and a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers and owls.

The forest is also home to a number of historical landmarks, including an ancient conduit, a remnant of an old water supply system that once served the local community. The conduit, which dates back several centuries, adds an element of intrigue and historical significance to the area.

Conduit Field offers a peaceful and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether one seeks solitude, enjoys birdwatching, or simply wishes to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, this woodland retreat provides an idyllic setting for all nature enthusiasts to enjoy.

Milepost on Great North Rd This broken milepost stands on the old Great North Rd.  This is now the B197 Stevenage to Welwyn Garden City road.  In fact most people making this journey use  the A1 which runs parallel and about 50 yards to the left.  This milepost is cast iron and has been broken at some stage.  This is the road that Dick Turpin would have ridden from York to London on.
