About Lemsford

Though unclear when the first settlement occurred, we know that the village became a parish in 1858. Throughout the years, Lemsford has flourished into a wonderful small community with a quiet village feel. This small village links with neighbouring towns, including St. Albans, Watford and Potters Bar. Lemsford is just 20 miles north of London and has easy connections by road and rail to all major cities in the UK. Sitting next to the A1 and just a few miles from several railway stations, residents can take their pick when it comes to travels to Hertford, London, Stevenage and further afield.

The Lemsford Community

Though incredibly well linked with the rest of Hertfordshire and beyond, the village is home to many accessible amenities, including local pubs and shops, making it a little haven for its residents. Most noteworthy, of course, is Lemsford Nature Reserve. This spectacular natural splendour is home to several lagoons that host species of birds that flourish in this environment. With popular hotspots for residents and visitors alike, Knebworth House, Heartwood Forest and Lakes, including Albans and Willows, are attractive reasons to visit the local area. This little gem is perfect for residents and visitors who want ease and accessibility, with plenty to do a short distance away and a homely, quiet village feel in the heart of Lemsford.
