Harpenden
Midway between St. Albans and Luton sits Harpenden's town and civil parish. The commuter town has direct links to London and is known to be a trendy choice to live amongst London's City commuters. Once mostly woodland, this village grew into the town we see today through centuries of gradual farming and woodland clearing. This small residential town accommodates several public parks and commons, making it a pleasant place to raise a family or participate in activities. Batford Park, the Nicky Line, Lydekker, Rothamsted Park and Kinsbourne Green are notable areas of interest for residents and visitors. With many events occurring throughout the year, one of note is an annual classic car show, "Classics on the Common". The event has put Harpenden on the map attracting over 10,000 visitors (and their cars) every year. The event is one of the most popular car shows in Europe and adds a lot of excitement and buzz to the local area.
Harpenden hosts a very popular Farmer's Market, with residents flocking each week to sample exotic foods, family favourites and local produce, making it a community must-do.
With so much natural splendour surrounding this quaint town, there are plenty of options for rivers and woodland walks to choose from - favourites amongst the locals include Batford Springs and The Nickey Line rail walk for picturesque cycling and walking routes.
With an abundance of country pubs darted around the town, there is a local delight closer than you think. The Plough and Harrow and The Amble Inn are welcoming country pubs serving great food and a lively atmosphere. In addition, the town hosts several churches, memorial statues, golf clubs, shopping and a cookery school; there is plenty to keep you occupied in Harpenden. Harpenden is one of the most affluent areas in St. Albans and is home to several famous faces, including footballers, TV personalities and well-known business tycoons. In addition, this town is frequently listed as the most popular with estate agents.
