3 VILLAGE LIFE With its mix of pretty period cottages and more substantial homes, Hertingfordbury is an affluent village highly desired by both local buyers and those from further afield, attracted by the rural lifestyle and sense of community.

On the edge of the village is the 1,000-acre Panshanger Park, listed Grade II by English Heritage and a favourite destination for country walks. The Park has valuable wildlife habitats, farmland and extensive cycle routes such as the Cole Green Way along the old railway line that linked Hertford to Hatfield. Villagers enjoy a very warm welcome at The White Horse Hotel, from which the development takes its name. The boutique hotel and pub has recently been refurbished and is under new management, promising a genuine pub that attracts a faithful clientele to a lovely restaurant with real local flavour. There is a Co-operative store conveniently within a five-minute drive, with major supermarkets such as Waitrose, Sainsbury s and Marks & Spencer in Hertford.
