Wymondley Wood Greenway Mapping/ Information

Here is a map of a regular walking route of mine that goes around a small segment of the Letchworth Greenway and then through Wymondley Wood. The area is a gravel track bridleway surrounding the Wood with a mixture of kissing gates and bridleway gates as entrances.
 While Maydencroft doesn't manage the fields nor the wood, associated businesses do; such as A.T. Bone, who we share our Letchworth yard with, then possibly the Letchworth Heritage Foundation who do the wood.

This annotation of the map covers the locations of kissing gates, signs, benches, boardwalks/ bridges and bodies of water on and near the route. 

This is the key:

• Red = Kissing Gates
• Green = Signs and Information
• Orange = Boardwalks and Bridges
• Magenta = Benches and Picnic Tables
• Black = Bins
• Blue = Bodies of Water that can be crossed (Not including surrounding drainage ditches)

While not dangerous, most of the aformentioned site features are in some disrepair. Most of the gates have damaged latches and, while functional, can swing around as they aren't held in place.

Much of the wood has rotted on the benches in the wood and the plastic ones have been burnt in multiple instances, one of them has even been uprooted from its concrete base and can no longer be sat on. The benches on the track tend to be in better condition.

The boardwalks, until recently, were in disrepair and even closed off on the one near the wood's central picnic area. The two boardwalks in the centre of the wood are in the best condition they have been in for years and the two bridges (southernmost and furthest left orange squares) Are sturdy and safe enough to not require maintenance.

The signs for directions are a little sparse, with a few signposts on the track and boards with maps at the intended entrances, there are also many info boards too within the wood which hold information regarding to flora, fauna and the area's history. While being a little aged, the boards are just dirty but still functional and safe.

Finally as for the bodies of water aside from the surrounding drainage trenches for the fields, there is a stream going through the wood, which is below the boardwalk, a small pond just next to the track and a large pond separating the house in the wood from the PRoW section on the northern end of the wood. None of these bodies of water are signposted or have a ring of any description near them, though they are not a legal requirement. These bodies of water are open to the public 24/7, however they may not be deep enough to require signage or life saving equipment in the first place.

Overall, whilst much of the site is in disrepair, I wouldn't go as far to say that it is dangerous, just neglected and in need of smaller fixes, especially in regads to the gates and the picnic area.
