The Garden City Greenway is a 13.6 mile (21.8 km) circular route that surrounds the Letchworth Garden City estate allowing users to discover the countryside without ever straying far from the town. At it's southernmost point it touches Hitchin, turning north at the corner of Purwell Lane and Kingswood Avenue where we will start and finish our ride (see 22:06 in the video below).
The Greenway was a one million pound project funded by the Heritage Foundation to act as a permanent commemoration of Letchworth Garden City’s first centenary in 2003.
This accelerated video of a full lap of the Greenway from Nick Hawkes starts near Stotfold, moving on to Radwell, Norton, Baldock, Jackmans, Willian, Wymondley Wood, Purwell, Letchworth Golf Course area, Harkness Roses, Highfield, Fearnhill, Wilbury Hills (passing The Gardeners Arms at 30:45 as featured in the Simon Pegg movie The Worlds End) and touching the edges of Standalone farm and the Grange Estate.
