Charming upspoilt Hertford lies just 25 miles from London amid the rolling countryside of East Hertfordshire, steeped in over 1,000 years of history since before Saxon times, with a Castle that has been continuously occupied from when the Normans built their first Motte and Bailey fortification by the River Lea.
Summer Band concerts and themed events, Castle Gatehouse Open Days and various other events such as Family Fun Day at Hertford Castle, take place within its mighty Norman Walls, whilst visitors the year round can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Castle gardens and gently flowing river.
Hertford's interesting town centre offers fascinating architecture, friendly specialist and antique shops, bustling Saturday Market, excellent Museum, the oldest Quaker Meeting House still in use, and pubs and eating places to suit all tastes and pockets.
Together with a year round calendar of events, ranging from Theatre Week to the annual Fun Day, riverside walks, bridle paths, cycle trails and every kind of sport and leisure activity available in the area surrounding Hertford, it is truly a Town for all Seasons and an ideal base for that day visit, weekend break or longer stay. Population 24,000
