    • More about Hertfordshire

      You’ll find the county of Hertfordshire just north of London, in an area known as East Anglia. The main city you’ll find here is St Albans, but you’ll find towns like Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead here too. It is dominantly a suburban area, with London only a train ride away. The population is 1,176,700./p>
      There is always something to do in Hertfordshire. This area is known for its culture and proudly displays it through the art exhibits and museums here. The Henry Moore Studios and Gardens, for example, is a lovely outdoor sculpture park that offers both art and nature.

      If you’re into adrenaline sports, there are opportunities for fun white-water rapids, wall climbing, a snow centre and adventure parks. There are also more laid back activities like golf and woodland walks.

      It’s Hertfordshire where you will find the Warner Bros. Studio Tour of the Making of Harry Potter, a magical place that has all the secrets of the hit movie. It’s something all ages will love seeing, and they put on many special events.

      If you’re into your history, then Hertfordshire doesn’t disappoint. Travel to Hatfield where you will find Hatfield House, the stately home where Queen Elizabeth I spent a lot of her childhood. It was here she was told she had become Queen of England. The house, park and gardens are open here in the summer months and offer fantastic views and insight into how the famous royal lived.

      You’ll also find St Albans Cathedral standing beautifully in the city of St Albans. England’s first saint (Alban) is buried here. The walls are adorned with medieval art. It is a must see.

      From the evidence of the Iron Age to Roman ruins, to WWII history, Hertfordshire has obviously been an appealing place to live for centuries!

      In 2013, uSwitch’s Quality of Life survey found Hertfordshire to be the third best in Britain and in 2016 was voted the best place to raise a family. It gets top exam results when compared to other counties, has fast broadband and also has easy access to healthcare. On average, local schools are only about 10 minutes away and nine minutes to your local doctor’s office. There is also some great sunshine to be had here, which probably contributes to Hertfordshire being the third best place to live.

      Finding your way around here is easy. London is only a train ride away. From most major train stations you can get to St Pancras, King’s Cross or London Euston. From here you can easily travel to other places in the country, or cross the channel for a short trip to France.
