Good photo locations in Welwyn Garden City? Question: I would like to find a place local to Welwyn Garden City where I can take some nice snaps of my car, could be old buildings, boats, fields, whatever just something nice and local
Anyone got any ideas?
Answer:
Shaw's Corner, where George Bernhard Shaw lived.
He wrote Pygmalian, which became My Fair Lady as a film and stage play adaptation.
Lanes from Old Welwyn or WGC to Ayot St. Peter, then to Farm Hill Lane and Shaws Corner, bit twisty but good scenery and good for pics.
I cycled to work at Rank Zerox that way from Harpenden area sometimes.

For a longer run, not too far considering the prize, Hatfield House, where Queen Elizabeth 1st spent her younger days....
Her dad sort of liked it there. That was Henry 8th.
Her Mum was Ann Boleyn, who he later had beheaded.
Dad didn't like her after all.
The entrance road is right opposite Hatfield Railway Station.
Rather impressive place ,what? Would suit a Bentley,haha.
