   • Knebworth House. On Stevenage’s doorstep is a country house that has been the residence for the Lytton family since 1490. The theatrical Victorian Tudor Revival facade encloses a much older house, built from red brick and dating back to the 16th century.
   • Knebworth Park. There are 250 acres of rambling parkland in Knebworth’s grounds. You can take stately strolls along the lime and chestnut avenues, passing herds of sika and red deer that have grazed here since well before the 15th century.
   • Fairlands Valley Park. Laid out in the 1970s, Fairlands Valley Park is often voted among England’s favourite free attractions, and is a real asset to Stevenage on hot summer days.
   • New Town Centre. Stevenage’s town centre was England’s first traffic-free shopping zone, borrowed partly from Rotterdam’s Lijnbaan. Now, a scheme as radical as this will always divide opinion, but more than 70 years later it’s an important artefact of mid-20th-century urban planning, around a plaza with an iconic Modernist clock tower.
