Hertfordshire
A relatively small county in South East England which covers just 629 square
miles. The county is divided into two distinctive areas.
In the east the new towns of Welwyn Garden City, Letchworth Garden City and
the town of Watford are highly industrialised whilst in the West of the
county, lie many smaller towns and villages which are overwhelmingly
agricultural in their nature. Residents of the smaller west Hertfordshire
towns and villages are known locally as 'Hedgehogs'.
Hertfordshire is blessed with some excellent examples of Britain's scenic
beauty in the Chiltern Hills, which run through part of the west of the
county into Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
Being comparatively close to London the county has some of the finest
examples of traditional English country homes within it's borders. Hatfield
House, Knebworth House and Brocket Hall all date back centuries whilst in
the market town of Berkhamsted a Norman castle still stands.
