Smaller, similarly characterful settlements Buntingford and Sawbridgeworth, along with many unique villages and hamlets, such as High Wych and Much Hadham – where community and tradition are celebrated. East Herts is also a place for future growth. The Harlow and Gilston Garden Town will see 10,000 new homes in the Gilston area with new schools, parks, and transport links alongside 5 hectares of land for commercial uses.
Connected by bus, train and plane, East Hertfordshire sits between Stansted Airport (15 minutes from Bishop’s Stortford), Luton Airport (40 minutes away), London City Airport (one hour) and Heathrow Airport (one hour), whilst also being networked by the likes of National Rail, Abellio Greater Anglia, Stansted Express and Thameslink, offering services into London. Also available to residents in East Hertfordshire is Hertfordshire County Council’s Herts Lynx – an affordable, on demand transit service.
The county’s namesake, Hertford, was voted the fifth best place to the live in the East of England in 2023 (Metro), and will soon be welcoming a newly rebuilt, state-of-the-art theatre to its town centre. This jewel in the district’s crown will open later this year. It will take pride of place among the district council’s other recently completed community legacy projects, Grange Paddocks, and Hartham Leisure Centre, and will continue to build on East Herts’ rich cultural history.
