Why live in Hertfordshire?

Situated in the south east of England, Hertfordshire is a county of contrasts, which means people living here get the best of both worlds. It's surrounded by stunning countryside but also has some very good rail and road links to Cambridgeshire and London. Hertfordshire was listed as the third-best place to live in the UK in a quality of life index in November 2013.

With the bright lights and visitor attractions of London just 30 minutes away on the train, you’ll never be short of things to see and do. If you wanted to explore a little closer to home, Hertfordshire is steeped in history and fun activities for all the family. We have a number of festivals, animal parks, heritage buildings and forests, parks and gardens to enjoy.
