| 110025 |  | Bike parking at NT Shaw's Corner. Hedge on one side, wheelie bins and parked cars on the other. Very tight to get bikes in and out - situation not ideal. | Other: Problem general |
| 100304 |  | No modal filter from Traveller's Close to Pooley's Lane. This is a useful route towards Welham Green station | Road environment: Problem road |
| 100303 |  | Segregated cycle track running southwards of spiral bridge in need of a little maintenance | Track: Good practice track |
| 100301 |  | Path was seriously overgrown dangerously restricting viability on the corner, this has recently been cut back and the pavement cleaned up. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 98932 |  | Woods Ave path at crossing of Sycamore Ave. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98931 |  | Woods Ave new cycle route showing crossing of Chantry Lane. This really should be a raise crossing over the entry to this cul-de-sac road. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98930 |  | Bishops Rise looking north at the start of the 2018 built route along Woods Ave. This turns gets cyclists off the road ahead of the roundabout. | Other: Good practice general |
| 98929 |  | Woods Ave looking west up the new cycle route completed May 2018. Shows the initial section which splits round the trees | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 89867 |  | The crossing island is too small for a cycle to stop. You must cross the road in one go | Road environment: Problem road |
| 85809 |  | Access to Welwyn Garden City station is through a shopping centre - awful for cyclists. There's also a footpath on a bridge from the east (where there's cycle parking) - maybe this could be improved to allow cyclists to legally get their bikes to the trains? | Other: Problem general |
| 85808 |  | Access to Welwyn Garden City station is through a shopping centre - awful for cyclists. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 85144 |  | Cycle parking needed here. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 74184 |  | Green line painted in car park to guide cyclists from Gresley Close to College Way, Welwyn Garden City. Very useful when the car park is full. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 74183 |  | Unsigned junction at Mundells, Welwyn Garden City loking north: Turn left to continue on the cycleway on Bessemer Road. Straight ahead is a route off the road for southbound cyclists and is a dead end if followed north as in the picture. Better signs needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 74182 |  | Cycleway at Mundells, Welwyn Garden City, showing route via subway to follow if heading for the cycleway along Bessemer Road in both directions. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74181 |  | Cycle path from Mill Green to Gypsy Lane alongside the A414, looking east at Mill Green. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74180 |  | Start of link through from Mill Green to NCN12/61 via bridleway (see map). Ths path was used by Beatrix Potter when staying locally at Bush Hall with her parents. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 74179 |  | Start of cycle path alongside A414 at end of Gypsy Lane, Welwyn Garden City. Note abuse of cycle path by cars coming off the road over the verge. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74178 |  | A414 cycle path at junction with Gypsy Lane, Welwyn Garden City. There is no cycle path along the A414 east of this point. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74177 |  | Cole Green Way, Welwyn Garden City: The start of the old railway cycle path to Hertford. Watch out for the anti-motorbike device at the gate. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74176 |  | Junction, unsigned, where NCN61 goes left and the cycle path along Black Fan Road to Mundells and Welwyn Garden City town centre carries straight on. The signs are rather unhelpfully at the far left of the photo on the other arm of the triangular junction. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74175 |  | Entrance to obscure bridleway linking NCN12/61 to Mill Green Museum and then the cycle path along the side of the A414. Beatrix Potter walked along this route when staying at Bush Hall and then going to paint the mill, now Mill Green Museum. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 74090 |  | Signal at Nast Hyde Halt, Ellenbrook, Hatfield. The signal has a short history of the railway and was erected as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2015 by a local resident who has been restoring the station and keeping the cycle route in immaculate condition. See the station sign in #74089 and also look out for the clock and other signs. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 74089 |  | Nast Hyde Halt, Alban Way, NCN61, Hatfield. Restored 2015 as part of the 150th anniversay celebrations. There is also a station clock, signal (see #74090 ) and information on the history. This is a project by a local resident who is keeping this section of the Alban Way in immaculate condition. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 74084 |  | Alban Way NCN61 subway under Cavendish Way, Hatfield. Subway avoids a crossing of a dual carriage way. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74078 |  | Sign misdirecting cyclist and pedestrians to go north from Hatfield station to get to the town centre. The town centre is 0.6 miles by walking or cycling in the opposite direction, yet this is only signed South Hatfield! | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 74077 |  | Subway from Batterdale linking to French Horn Lane cycleroute. This could be used as a better route for NCN12 avoiding the roundabout in #74069 but not allowed as subway is deemed too low. View from other end is in #74068. Note this is footway not cyclepath so cannot be cycled. | Other: Problem general |
| 74076 |  | Shared use pavement extending cycle route past Hatfield station and then on to NCN61 at the Red Lion junction, see #74067 and #74075. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74075 |  | Red Lion junction Hatfield showing crossing to the cycle route south from NCN61 to the station, opened November 2015 see #74067. Despite lobbying by local cyclists the island has been constructed to pedestrian only standards requiring cyclists to dismount and creating an unnecessarily difficult crossing for tricycles and tandems. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74074 |  | NCN12 where it joins NCN61 at the north end of Old Hatfield. NCN12 turns right to head north to Welwyn Garden City. Island crossing of road enabling each lane to be crossed separately with clear signs. View going south can be seen in #74073. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74073 |  | Junction where NCN12 leaves NCN61 and goes south via Old Hatfield. Central island big enough for bikes with clear signs. View in other direction on NCN12 in #74074 | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 74072 |  | Hatfield station toucan crossing which allows all ways crossing for pedestrians but not for cyclists, who have to go round the sides following the square in two phases rather than one. An opportunity missed? | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74071 |  | New cycle parking at Hatfield station intalled November 2015 | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 74070 |  | Double decker cycle parking installed at Hatfield station November 2015. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 74069 |  | NCN12 leaves Old Hatfield via this busy roundabout on the Great North Road. A much better route would be via the subway from Batterdale see #74068 and #74077. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74068 |  | Subway under Great North Road Hatfield. This could be used to divert NCN12 away from a busy roundabout, but rulled out because the subway is too low to be legally acceptable. Hertfordshire County Council should take the view this is still safer than the roundabout shown in #74069. View from east end #74077. Note that the subway is only a footway, not shared use, hence the white line to define the cycle route. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74067 |  | Shared use pavement completed November 2015 at Hatfield Station. Creates link to NCN61 and thence NCN12 at the Red Lion see #74025. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74066 |  | French Horn Lane Hatfield where NCN12 turns south. Note NCN12 goes onto the road to the left despite the wide island. Cyclists should use the waiting area on road not the island. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 74065 |  | Alban Way bridge over Wellfield Road which also has a cycle route. A rare double decker cycle route. See #45254 for bridge from below. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74064 |  | Fore Street and the Eight Bells Pub on NCN12. Old Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Fans of Oliver Twist should note this is believed to be the pub Bill Sykes hides out in after Nancy is murdered. | Other: Misc general |
| 74057 |  | Broken cycle stands outside public library in Hatfield. Over complex design which did not last and impossible to use with small wheeled bikes. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 74056 |  | New pavement next to exit from cycle lane. Using this crossing then leads to the new cycleway on the opposite side of the road shown in #74054 | Road environment: Infrastructure road |

| 57283 |  | Exit from Knella Road, Welwyn Garden City heading east on NCN61. Cycle path then zigzags into gap in hedge in back ground squeezing past post just visible in background. Difficult if hedge overgrown. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 57279 |  | Narrow cyclepath on bridge over A414. Southbound cyclists need to give way, as shown by sign. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 57278 |  | NCN61 looking north showing where cycle route leaves main road to use Park View. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |

| 42122 |  | Cycle route signs, Hatfield Location: Smallford, St. Albans (England, United Kingdom) The sign to Welwyn Garden City is pointing in the wrong direction. It should be pointing in the opposite direction to the St. Albans sign. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 35177 |  | Cycle path from Hatfield to Colney Heath where it goes under the A1(M). Old but well made. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 35176 |  | On road cyclepaths on Queensway Hatfield make this a dangerous roundabout for cyclists. You need to cycle much more out into the road to be safe here. Yet this is close to 3 schools! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 35175 |  | Junction on NCN12 where route turns off French Horn Lane to Old Rectory Drive | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 35169 |  | NCN12 Traveller's Lane Hatfield where the route turns off to follow the paths through Oxlease Wood and Streamwoods. (Note map is slighly inaccurate at this point. Photo marker is at the correct location where the cycle path crosses the road.) | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 35168 |  | Stanborough Park looking west showing the contraflow cycle path along the park entrance slip road. This contraflow path is a crucial link in the Hatfield to Welwyn Garden City cycle path which also connects to Stanborough School. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 31745 |  | View from the bridge on NCN12 | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 31743 |  | South end of Wrestler's Bridge Hatfield on NCN61 looking north. The original bridge here collapsed in 1966. Riders are about to set off on a ride to open a new cycle route in Welwyn Garden City led by Welwyn Hatfield Cycling Forum | Road environment: Event road |
