Lovely village atmosphere and "rural" feel, but within close proximity to Hemel Hempstead and Watford and J20 of M25. Easy access into London so the best of both worlds. Lots of lovely country walks, horseriding and great pubs. Friendly locals and village shops, a real community feel.

Quiet area near M25 and Apsley station, train to Euston in 20 minutes.
