Hertfordshire Tourist Information

Let us help you plan your ideal vacation in Hertfordshire...

Bordering on Greater London, and well within the commuter belt, it would not be at all surprising to find that the small county of Hertfordshire had been swallowed up into a continuous concrete jungle. However that is definitely not the case; in fact, about half the county is designated as green belt, it contains Stevenage, the first official post-war "New Town", and also the "garden cities" of Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth.

Whilst there are "new" towns, there are also old ones. Verulamium was established before the Roman conquest but they developed it into an one of the most important of their towns in Britain. Eventually the town was renamed to St Albans (St Alban was a resident of the town thought to be the first British Christian martyr).

Local attractions include the St Albans Museum which has extensive information and exhibits relating to the town's Roman history, the magnificent Abbey Church and the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre (home of the "Wooden Wonder", the Mosquito bomber, plus other famous marques of the company).

The county also has many other historic towns well worth visiting including Birkhampstead, Bishop's Stortford, Hatfield, Hitching and Tring. Come and explore ... enjoy your stay!
