  • Welham Green to University of Hertfordshire via Angerland Common

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    A possible route from Welham Green to the University of Hertfordshire and then to the Hatfield business park via the University park and ride and possible sports ground at Angerland Common, Hatfield.

    The route would use Dellsome Lane, if vegetation cleared, a short new route accross Angerland Common, the traffic lights at the park and ride to cross South Way and then shared use of the Roehyde Way pavement to join up with the existing cycle path between Colney Heath and the University.

  • Beatrix Potter Way cycle and walking route

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    In 1884 the 18 year old Beatrix Potter stayed at Bush Hall, fished in the Lea and painted a Hertfordshire Farm which looks remarkably like Mill Green, home of the WHBC museum.

    WelHatCycling therefore proposes a leisure cycling route from Stanborough Park alongside the river Lea past Bush Hall to Mill Green.

    Information on Beatrix Potter's visit to Hatfield can be found here:

  • A414 cycle path extension

    Created by Adam Edwards // 3 threads

    Extension to cycle path along side A414, which is effectively a motorway. May happen if south east corner of WGC is developed for housing along side the A414.

  • Hatfield St Albans all year commuter route

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    The Alban Way is unlit and isolated from main roads. Thus it does not provide a safe commuter route in the winter months.

    WelHatCycling believes there should be an all year route alongside the A1057 along the route shown, linking Hatfield to the St Albans Green Ring at Fleetville and then continuing in to the city centre.

    This will be a challanging route where streets are narrow and car use is high. The priority therefore might be University of Hertfordshire - Oaklands College - Fleetville to encourage cycling to these two key educational institutions.

  • Digswell Road WGC

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    WelwHatCycling believes there should be shared use pavements along Digswell Road to link the north of the town to the town centre. This would connect to our proposed North - South and East- West routes described in other entries.

  • WGC to the QE2

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    The east side of WGC is currently served only by the NCN61 route. In 2014 work was done on Heronswood road to add safety markings due to high incidences of accidents involving bikes. There are local concerns about cyclists using pavements to avoid busy local roads.

    There should as a minimum be a route from WGC station to the new QE2 hospital, ideally directly via Woodhall shops. The other routes show other useful possible links to create a cohesive network to serve this section of town.

  • Welwyn village - Monks Walk School - WGC

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    A long standing missing link in WHBC area cycle routes. The current Bessemer Way cycle path ends where the road becomes a busy dual carriage way. There is no off road cycling link to Welwyn village which prevents the children of the town cycling to Monks Walk School (yet it is possible for Hatfield children to get there virtually the whole way on cycle path!)

  • Welwyn Garden City north to south

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    This route would use a combination of 20 mph road (Fretherne Road, Stonehills) plus upgraded crossings to create a north south route through the centre of Welwyn Garden City. It would share a common section around the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Offices and the Campus with the east west route described in another section.

    The route would link NCN57 south of the town with the existing link from Campus East to Shirepark, thus enabling commuters from this business park to access the station. Going further north the link over the White Bridge would then open up the quiet residential streets of north WGC for cycling to and from the town centre. Via the east west route their would be a better connection to NCN12 avoiding the busy Parkway.

  • Welwyn Garden City east to west

    Created by Adam Edwards // 1 thread

    Welwyn Garden City has no off road town centre cycle routes. This east west route would link the network of cycle paths to the east of the town centre to NCN12 to the west and enable cyclists to avoid The Campus, a deceptively green gyratory which is difficult for cyclists to navigate.

    It would connect with a north south route at the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council offices, encouraging staff to cycle to work. It would encourage commuters to cycle from west WGC to the station and to work places off Broadwater Road and at the Mundells.
