About

Knightsfield is a residential part of Welwyn Garden City in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield, lying in the town's northern sector. The area is made up of houses and flats served by a local shopping parade, a primary school and pockets of public green space. Streets are arranged with short crescents and cul-de-sacs that connect to the town's network of cycle and footpaths, and the AL8 postcode covers the neighbourhood. Local facilities cater for day-to-day needs and small community groups use halls and meeting rooms for regular activities.

Transport links put the town centre and Welwyn Garden City railway station within a short bus or cycle ride, and several routes through the area lead out to surrounding countryside. Residents use the footpaths to reach nearby allotments and playing fields without crossing major roads. Services and planning are managed through Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, so local consultations and maintenance follow borough schedules.
