Where you’ll be

Hertford

From the host

Hertford is a market town 20 miles north of London — Norman castle, two rivers, independent shops, and a station that puts you in central London in around 40 minutes. The kind of place London escapes to on weekends, but quietly.

A short walk from the house
– Hertford Castle and grounds (across the road)
– Hertford town centre — restaurants, pubs, independent cafés
– Hartham Common with the new leisure centre
– Riverside walks along the River Lea (from the back garden)
– Weekly market and local fishmonger
– Independent boutiques and the town's small theatre
– Both Hertford East and Hertford North stations
Worth a short drive
– Panshanger Park nature trails
– Knebworth House and gardens
– Hatfield House
– St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and the wider Hertfordshire countryside
– Cambridge in under an hour
– Lee Valley Regional Park

Hertford suits long weekends as much as longer stays — quiet enough to feel away from London, close enough that nothing's actually inconvenient.
