Martins Wood is a residential ward in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, taking its name from a remnant pocket of woodland and green space. It reflects the character of Stevenage’s New Town planning, with housing laid out alongside parks, cycle routes and local playing fields rather than dense urban streets.
The ward contains a mix of private and social housing, local shops, a primary school and community facilities, and is within easy reach of the town centre and rail links while nearby employment areas serve commuters. Socially it is a family-oriented and diverse neighbourhood with active community groups and occasional small-scale regeneration work to improve housing and public spaces.
