Why choose Hertfordshire for your break?
Nestled in southeast England just north of London is the beautiful Home County of Hertfordshire.
It's a county steeped in natural beauty, history, pretty towns and villages, and plenty of attractions for everyone.
St. Albans is a picturesque market town with impressive Roman remains. There's a museum and cafe built into an old courthouse, an amazing array of shops and cute boutiques, lots of restaurants and cafes, and some of the best and oldest pubs in the country. You won't want to miss the incredible cathedral and the beautiful Verulamium Park.
For more Roman history, pay a visit to Welwyn where you can see the Welwyn Roman Baths. You can walk around the remains of an almost 2,000-year-old villa bathhouse.
If you're visiting with kids, a trip to one of the county's many farms and wildlife attractions is a must. Willow's Activity Farm has everything from rides and tractor rides to obstacle courses and animals. You can feed your favourite farm animals, pan for gold, and even meet Peter Rabbit and his pals.
Paradise Wildlife Park is another top attraction. This award-winning zoo boasts a wide range of exotic animals and a whole host of experiences and attractions the whole family will love.
Berkhamsted is a lovely town to explore for the day. There are some castle ruins to discover with lots of spacious grassy mounds perfect for a picnic. The town itself is very pretty and has lots of options for shopping and dining.
