Bound by the quaint towns of Letchworth and Welwyn, and located just 27 miles north of the vibrant capital, Stevenage is exceptional in its own right. Proud to be the UK's first New Town under the New Towns Act of 1946, this Hertfordshire base has a rich history that combines intriguing stories of Roman settlers and Viking raiders. Unearth the tale of the Great Fire of 1807 that changed the landscape of the town, or dive into intricate archaeological discoveries harking back to Roman and Celtic times.

The town's modernist charm lies in its meticulously planned neighbourhoods and pedestrianised town centre - the first of its kind in Britain.

Venture into its industrial area and discover major employers like MBDA emanating from British Aerospace and the well-established GSK.

When to visit Stevenage

Stevenage adorns itself with agreeable weather throughout the year, but the most favoured time to visit is towards the end of July. Bask in the pleasantly warm afternoons reaching 22.5°C, and enjoy the cooling sensation of breezes averaging 11.3°C at night.

Aim for minimal precipitation encounters by scheduling your trip during April, March, or September. An adventurous few might appreciate the unlikely spectacle of August snowfall, although early to mid-January remains the typical season for such a sight. If you fancy a refreshing escape, July's low humidity creates an alluring ambiance. For wind enthusiasts, January's average wind speed of 10 knots (11.5 MPH or 18.4 KPH) makes for an exciting time.
