Hertford sits at the confluence of four rivers - the Beane, Rib, Mimram, and Lea - a geography that has defined its character for centuries. Unlike many of its more modern neighbours, the town retains its organic, medieval layout, with the remains of Hertford Castle and its public gardens serving as a quiet focal point in the centre. It functions as a traditional county town, which means it has avoided the "clone town" feel; you’ll find a high proportion of independent shops and tucked-away pubs along the cobbled Parliament Square and Maidenhead Street. Commuting is straightforward thanks to two separate railway stations - Hertford East and Hertford North - which provide different routes into London Liverpool Street and Moorgate respectively. While the town feels compact and historic, it is enveloped by green space, with the vast Hartham Common offering riverside walks and pitches that lead directly into the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside.
