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.

Ferrier Rd

This could be any road in this area. Plans seem to have been bought as a job lot.

Telford Avenue.

On the edge of TL2525.. I wasn't going any further into this estate. I always get lost even though it's not that big by local standards. This estate, in common with others in the area suffers from the increase in car ownership. Parking is awkward, the roads not wide and the layout is twisting.
