The town provides excellent schools, shops, leisure facilities and green open spaces.
Norton Common - Norton Common is a Local Nature Reserve in the heart of Letchworth. Here you can explore woodland alive with birds, roam through grassland full of wild flowers, find mineral-rich springs feeding the Pix Brook and see traces of ancient farming. Many paths cross the Common, some of them surfaced. The springs have created an area of marshy grassland, a rare and valuable habitat for plants and animals. Look for southern marsh orchid, meadow cranesbill, wild mint, cowslips, lady’s bedstraw, blue harebell and wild carrot (whose leaves really do smell of carrots). Wildlife includes muntjac, a small deer introduced to this country from China. They are usually seen in ones or twos, never in herds. An increasingly common sight are black squirrels, a variant of the grey squirrel, which is the same species. Many butterflies, dragonflies and other insects are also to be seen. The grassland is mown annually, preventing the spread of bushes and helping promote the wide range of species. It is hoped that cattle will return to do this job the traditional way. The woodland is not old; much has grown up in the last 100 years. Thorn and elder bushes are slowly giving way to trees – ash, oak and sycamore have seeded themselves whilst several other species have been planted. They provide many places for birds to roost, feed and nest. Species include tawny owl, woodpeckers, bullfinch, song thrush and, in summer, chiff chaff and blackcap. Coppicing along the woodland edges creates low bushes favoured by many birds and insects.
