The village is nestled amidst rolling countryside, surrounded by fields and farmland, offering residents and visitors a tranquil and idyllic setting.

Redcoats Green is renowned for its historical significance, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Roman period. The name of the village is believed to originate from the red coats worn by the soldiers stationed nearby during the English Civil War.

The heart of Redcoats Green is its village green, a beautifully maintained open space that serves as a central meeting point for locals. The green is bordered by a handful of picturesque cottages, giving the area a traditional and quintessentially English charm.

A1(M) from Shangri  La Shangri La is actually the name of the Turkey farm just to the left of the place that the photograph was taken from.  Within a moment or two the horse to the left  spotted me and decided that I might be a good source of mints.

Hermit of Redcoats at Titmore Green A well thought of local hostelry and restaurant.  I had considered submitting the duck pond the other side of the road but The Hermit is better known.

Cottages in Great Wymondley These pretty old cottages are smack in the middle of this square in a small village with a lovely pub and (sadly) dried up duck pond.  The road through the village is used as a rat run by people travelling between the local towns in the mornings and evenings.

St Mary's Church Little Wymondley. Tucked away and up a track, this charming little church needs a bit of money spent on it.  Some might need to be spent on soundproofing since it is really close to the main north-south line from Kings Cross.

Little Wymondley - Railway bridge and street. This used to be the main Stevenage - Hitchin road.  There is now a bypass and as a result the village is much quieter.  This view is facing west down the street towards the railway bridge.
