About

Woolmer Green, Oaklands and Digswell lie on the northern edge of Welwyn Garden City within Welwyn Hatfield. The A1000 runs through Woolmer Green as the old north–south route into Hertfordshire, and Welwyn North railway station sits in Digswell on the East Coast Main Line. The railway passes over the long brick viaduct spanning the Mimram valley, a local landmark that shapes the slopes and footpaths below. Oaklands sits between the other two settlements, linked by minor roads and public paths that lead into surrounding farmland.

The area mixes suburban streets, small clusters of housing and ribbons of green space, with allotments, village halls and local clubs serving residents. Short walks follow the Mimram and connect to wider rights-of-way into the Hertfordshire countryside, while bus and rail links provide direct routes to Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage and central London. Local planning within the borough has kept much of the surrounding countryside free of large developments, so the settlements retain a scale that supports village-oriented services and community activity.
