Hertfordshire

Hertford and the places nearby.

Hertford is Hertfordshire's county town, a compact and comfortable market town with a historic centre, council and public-sector jobs, and plenty of residents commuting into London. Older properties in the centre and larger homes in Bengeo and the surrounding villages keep home-improvement trades busy with fairly high-value work. Hertford and Ware run into each other and customers treat them as one area, so a business covering both should say so rather than making people guess.

The nearest town in the same council area is Ware (2 miles). Elsewhere in Hertfordshire, Hoddesdon (4 miles), Welwyn Garden City (6 miles), Hatfield (7 miles) and Cheshunt (7 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Harlow (8 miles) and Waltham Abbey (9 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Inside Hertford, the site can name areas such as Bengeo, Hertingfordbury, Hertford Heath, Bayford and Ware.

From our base in Exeter, Hertford is about 167 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start SG.
