Welwyn Garden City Welwyn's greenbelt includes this beautiful set of lakes, with fountains, boating, and lake perimeter hiking and biking trails. |
Welwyn Garden City was planned and
constructed in the 1930s.
The emphasis in a Garden City is on extensive open space and heavy landscaping. |
Welwyn is designed around a central
circular park with a fountain.
Major streets with landscaped medians radiate in all four directions from the circular park. The eastward street is a commercial area leading to the railway station. |
This is the median in the eastward street leading to the train station, which can be seen at the end of the street. Note the emphasis on flower beds in varied geometric designs. |
