ABOUT WELWYN GARDEN CITY

Welwyn Garden City was founded by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the 1920s and designated a new town in 1948. It was aimed to combine the benefits of the city and countryside. Surrounded by rolling Hertfordshire countryside, Welwyn Garden City was an escape from life in overcrowded cities to a place of sunshine, leafy lanes, countryside and cafes. Emphasis was placed on the Garden City's healthy environment. Today it’s a busy and bustling town with a selection of shops, the Howard Shopping Centre is located in the centre of Welwyn Garden City where you can find a selection of high street favourites including John Lewis. There is also a Waitrose and a Sainsbury’s in the town. Welwyn Garden also has its own quaint cinema in the town centre, showing the latest films.

WHAT THE OWNERS SAY

Moving into Peel Court in 2019 was the best decision my dad could have made. His own lovely apartment gave him the independence that mattered so much to him, while still allowing him to be part of a welcoming community. He could choose to join in outings whether to London shows or simply spending time with others in the beautiful communal areas. Lunchtimes in the restaurant were always a pleasure, though he also valued the option of having meals delivered to his apartment when he wished.
The staff were consistently kind, helpful, and went above and beyond always with a smile. My dad often spoke with great affection about how much he enjoyed living at Peel Court, and it brought him real happiness. It’s been a real family home within a retirement complex.
