Fairlands Valley Park
One of the major highlights of Stevenage is the 120-acre Fairlands Valley Park. It really is the perfect day out for all the family with loads to do including windsurfing, fishing, canoeing and a high ropes course for those with a head for heights. The Millennium Lake in the centre of the park is usually swarming with pedalos and there’s no better way to spend a long sunny day than having some fun on the water.
Fairlands Valley ParkKnebworth House
Knebworth House is another place you should visit. You might know it better as the venue for some of the UK’s biggest rock concerts of recent years. However, the house itself is charming and the gardens are an adventure land where you can get lost in a maze, follow a dinosaur trail or simply admire the walled kitchen garden. There’s a zip wire if you’re looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush.
Knebworth HouseStevenage museum
Stevenage Museum is a small but fascinating place that provides the story of Stevenage as it moved from the old town to new town after World War 2. You can explore the geology, archaeology and history of the area through thousands of photographs and documents and take part in a busy programme of events. Basically, if you’re interested in Stevenage, then pay a visit here.

St Nicholas parish church
Just north of the main town centre, you’ll find an impressive parish church. St Nicholas was a Saxon site of worship that was rebuilt in 1100AD using flint. It looks incredible and, inside, you’ll find an ancient stone font with a medieval carved wooden cover, a Victorian organ, beautiful stained glass windows and other fascinating objects. There are few churches like it anywhere else.

The Westgate Shopping Centre in the middle of Stevenage is the place to go for a full day of browsing and buying. There are loads of shops and plenty of places to grab a coffee or lunch between purchases. Away from Westgate, the town centre is packed with other charms to stretch your purse strings and the old town, not far from the train station, delivers on quaint and unique retail.
