About Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire is in the South East of England, just north of London, making it a popular location for commuters. It borders Bedfordshire to the north, Cambridgeshire to the northeast, Essex to the east, and Buckinghamshire to the west.
Despite its closeness to London, much of Hertfordshire is protected by the Metropolitan Green Belt, preserving countryside and limiting urban sprawl. The western part of Hertfordshire includes the Chilterns, a large, protected rural landscape made up of rolling hills, woodland, farmland, and traditional villages.
The River Lea and River Colne also flow through the county, creating fertile valleys and scenic walking routes.

Living in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire is often described as “London in the countryside” – giving you green spaces and quieter living while being close to the capital.
Many towns have a village feel but with modern amenities. Some areas are bustling market towns (e.g., Hitchin, Berkhamsted), while others are peaceful rural villages. Towns like St Albans and Watford offer residents excellent shopping, dining, and cultural experiences.
There are a number of nature reserves, including places like Ashridge Estate and Tring Park that offer rich biodiversity and hiking trails.
Together, this balance of countryside, well‑served towns, and outdoor space makes Hertfordshire an attractive place to live for those who want breathing room without losing access to work, culture, and connectivity.
