We live near the world's first garden city. A garden city is an attempt at utopian urban planning. It is supposed to be just the right mix of residential, industrial, and agriculture. It probably is, but I will not get into that now. One striking feature is the farms on the edges and the thoughtful footpaths that meander in and out of town and country. We spent hours of the Late May Bank Holiday on these footpaths and it was lovely.
Lovelier still was another hidden gem: Letchworth Garden City is the home of the UK's very first roundabout. I am not sure if this feature is indicated on the motorway, but it should be. This is exactly the type of attraction that I love to stop at on road trips… pure bonus.
