    Love coming here with my son on weekends. It is the perfect place for children to run and play. They have 2 playgrounds, a skating rink and tennis courts. Lots of woody areas to just take walks and unwind.

    Such a nice place to go for a stroll. The paths are pram friendly and there is a small car park which was free for the first 2 hours. Benches scattered around which makes it nice to sit down and take in the scenery.

    A lovely relaxing place to walk your dog or just have a walk. The carpark allows you to park for free up to 2 hours. There is a play area for the little ones and a skate park for the older ones which looks like it gets well used. There is also a tennis court and bowls green that were being used when we were there.

    Nature on the door step, beautiful to pass through when birds are full of their morning song. Lovely place to come and take a seat and view the wildlife.

    Stunning centre to the wonderful Letchworth Garden City. Such an amazing local resource. 70 acres of walkies paradise for couples, families, dogs and children. So lucky to have it on the doorstep.

    Very nice place to walk, especially around dusk you can see muntjac deer and rabbits which don't run away from you (as long as you don't have a dog)

    Such a beautiful place full of wildlife and great for the whole family esp the 4 legged family.

    A really nice, well maintained common. I only walked through a small part but it had open grassland, a woodland area, a series of paths which were easy to follow abs much more. The outdoor pool is located here too (which is not free entry like the common).

    A great common with lots of lovely walks. Also has tennis courts, bowles, swimming and I think there is a children's play area. When it's quiet you may see the wildlife, munkjack deer, foxes etc. A well kept place for everyone to enjoy.

    Lovely place. Not much variety of trees/shrubs/ever greens. Brilliant size if you’re looking for a short walk.
  • 4/5 Hannah W. 11 months ago on Google
    A lovely, well maintained area of nature in amongst a very built-up area. There are lots of places to relax and walk. It was great in the summer to get some shade. If you are walking the Icknield Way, it's a good place to have lunch.

    Brilliant patch of wilderness right in the heart of Letchworth. Great for summer walks or letting the dog run around. Be warned it's surrounded by roads, so if you have a dog which is easily scared, or likes to chase wild animals you're best keeping the lead on.

    A lovely place to escape the busy town center. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area
  • 5/5 Doreen B. 5 months ago on Google
    A very nice walk. Peaceful, and the dogs enjoyed it too.
