👍👍 Right in the center of the town, there is the perfect park for spending time on a sunny day. It is especially nice to come here with children and babies. Dozens of mothers with baby strollers in the place will testify to this.
On the day we were there, there were several classes of school children...

Radwell Meadows Country Park
Country park
👍👍 Bike ride out with two of my children, was a nice place to ride to. Plenty of benches to sit at, although the main road is fairly close at some places, but plenty of trees and bushes to dampen the sound. Nice place, a bit of a hidden haven in between the A1M and the road to Letchworth/Baldock.

Ivel Springs
Nature preserve
👍 Nice fenced off area to start the walk in. We left the meadow area (fenced off bit) & followed the sign posted walk, even doing this the walk only took about half an hour, I believe there are further walks but none of these loop you back to the car park. The actual car park is poorly signposted, we...
