Harpenden
Harpenden: where past meets present! Discovering the town's rich history, from its forgotten straw-weaving industry, which once supported many women in the nineteenth century, to its bustling commuter status today, with convenient rail links to central London. Additionally, the town's streets honour famous English writers through their names, contributing to Harpenden's special appeal.

St. Albans
St. Albans, a place where even the brightest minds find inspiration! It's fascinating to learn that one of the greatest scientific minds of our time, Stephen Hawking, spent his formative years in this historic city.
Watford
Watford’s name and fame! Did you know that the Chesnut staircase, which once belonged to Cassiobury House is now on display in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art? Well, isn't Watford just full of surprises? It's amazing to think that a piece of its history now graces one of the world's most prestigious art institutions.
Welwyn Garden City
What could be a better combo than your morning bowl of cereal and scrolling through your social media feed? Welwyn Garden City was well known back in the day as the home of breakfast cereal Shredded Wheet. And, due to the central location, it meant that the bakery smell moved all around the town centre – not bad, if you ask us!
