| The historic county town of Hertford is just over a mile away with an excellent range of shops, restaurants and pubs. Hertford is the county town of Hertfordshire, England, and is also a civil parish in the East Hertfordshire district of the county. In 2006 East Hertfordshire was ranked within the top 10 places to live in the UK following a survey commissioned by the Channel 4 TV station.
Forming a civil parish, the 2001 census put the population of Hertford at about 24,180. Recent estimates are that it is now around 28,000. The name is Anglo Saxon and means the ford frequented by harts or stags. |

Click here to visit Shaws Corner
As he approached his middle age, George Bernard Shaw began looking for a modest, country house with reasonable access to London. A few miles outside of Welwyn Garden City, an unattractive Edwardian house in the village of Ayot St Lawrence provided the perfect solution. Built as the 'New Rectory', this house was sufficiently isolated to give George Bernard Shaw the peace and quiet he desired for his writing, yet not so remote that it was an easy journey back to London. For nearly 14 years George Bernard Shaw rented the house from the Church, buying it eventually in 1920, and he spent the majority of his advanced years in the seclusion of his garden. In November 1950 he died at Shaw's Corner, and the house became a shrine to him and his great literary works. |

For a great family trip, visit this delightful wetland reserve beside the River Lee. Rye Meads is a favourite with walkers, birdwatchers and photographers too. There are wheelchair-friendly trails, and 10 hides (come just to see the amazing murals!) look out over the reedbeds, wet meadows, open water and artificial sandbanks, which are a great place to spot the blue flash of a kingfisher. |
