About

Martins Wood is a residential area in the borough of Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The neighbourhood takes its name from a small copse of trees that sits within the estate and provides a cluster of informal footpaths used by local walkers. Housing is a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes and small blocks of flats arranged around minor roads and green verges. Street names and the layout reflect phases of post-war development associated with the town's expansion.

Local facilities include a parade of shops with a convenience store and takeaways, a primary school, and play areas for children. Regular local bus services connect the area with Stevenage town centre and the mainline railway station. Community activity centres on the green spaces and a noticeboard outside the shopping parade where events and local groups advertise meetings and services. For residents the wood and linked paths form a daily walking route and a focus for neighbourhood life.
