Great Ashby sits on the northern edge of Stevenage, though it actually falls within the administrative boundary of North Hertfordshire. Developed primarily from the late 1990s onwards, it was built on what was once undulating farmland, a geography that is still reflected today in the preservation of several ancient woodlands, such as Broaks Wood and Serpentine Wood, which weave through the housing. The centre of the locality is anchored by a cluster of essential amenities, including a primary school, a community centre, and a small supermarket, which act as a hub for the various winding lanes and cul-de-sacs. While it offers a distinct, quieter suburban identity separate from the main town, it remains well-connected via the B197 and is within easy reach of the A1(M). Residents often find themselves balancing the convenience of Stevenage’s mainline rail links and shopping facilities with immediate access to the footpaths that lead out into the rolling countryside towards villages like Weston and Graveley.
