Hertfordshire (Hertford, Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead,
Stevenage, Hatfield)
Historically, Hertfordshire has always
been home to a disproportionately large number of country houses,
built as retreats from the hurly-burly of London by the many of the
government officials and administrators.
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
