Peartree Spring, located in Hertfordshire, England, is a picturesque wood set in a charming forest landscape. Spanning approximately 20 acres, this woodland area is known for its natural beauty and tranquil surroundings.

The wood is primarily composed of a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, including oak, beech, and pine, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The lush foliage provides a haven for a variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and rabbits. Visitors to Peartree Spring can often catch glimpses of these creatures as they move about the woods.

The forest offers a network of well-maintained walking trails that wind through the trees, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the area and take in the stunning scenery. Along the trails, there are several strategically placed benches where visitors can rest and immerse themselves in the peaceful ambiance of the wood.

Peartree Spring is also home to a natural spring, from which it derives its name. This spring feeds a small stream that meanders through the wood, adding to the serenity of the surroundings. The gentle sound of running water creates a soothing atmosphere, making it a popular spot for relaxation and contemplation.

As a protected area, Peartree Spring is managed by local authorities to ensure the preservation of its natural beauty. It is a cherished location for both locals and tourists alike, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

South end of Fairlands Valley Park.

This photograph was taken facing north into Fairlands Valley Park from the car park used for Stevenage Borough FC (see TL2422). This park is also used for travelling fairs and circuses.

Parishes mead is a newer development on the east side of Stevenage. There is a mixture of private and social housing here.

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.

Most housing in this area consists of two storey houses but there are a number of blocks of flats like this.

Broadwater Avenue shops

Very busy local shops in the same style as several other Stevenage neighbourhood centres.

Longmeadow Evangelical Church

Many of Stevenage's churche seem to thrive and this is one of them.

Neglected milestone

Well. That will be er um miles to aaah hmm, and um er miles to aaaaah. Yes well it's probably a long way anyway.

St Mary's Church, Aston

The church is built of flint with stone dressings on the nave and chancel and the roofs are covered with copper.

Trig point at Lonsdale School

I swear that tree was not there when I took the photo. This Trig point is in the playing field of a special needs school caring for 75 children between the ages of 2 and 19 from London, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
