Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking down towards the pavilion the village sign is at the eastern end of the green and has an unusual bas-relief design featuring the church at the top, a rugby match lower left, children playing on a swing and a slide in the middle bottom, and a cricket match lower right. A small plaque on the sign reads:-

To the village
For the village
From the village
2000

indicating that the sign was a Millennium gift.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The small plaque on the post states that it was last known to have been used on 27 July 1665 when two vagabonds were publicly flogged here.

(Please note that the true co-ordinates of the post are TL 2687 1825, but that plots in the middle of the road, so I have amended them slightly to fit the mapping better.)

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking a bit like a garage that has been converted, the shop sells a wide range of products. The road running through the photo is the Watton Road whilst the road on the right leads to Datchworth and the one on the left goes to Bulls Green and, eventually, Bramfield.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Runners taking part in the 2011 Fairland Valley challenge. There is a choice of routes to walk or run, 12, 18 or 26 miles. At this point all the participants share the route before going their separate ways at a nearby checkpoint.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Part of a Roman Road that connected Welwyn with Ermine Street near Colliers End. It is probably still the same width as when built. Much of the route is now bridleways or under the plough.
