Home Counties – Berkhamsted

Berkhamsted lies on the western edge of Hertfordshire, bordering the Chiltern Hills. It is a vibrant residential and cultural centre, and while it is now part of the Borough of Dacorum it has retained its own strong identity.

Just a short walk from the town centre, the towpath at Berkhamsted, on the Grand Union Canal makes for a fascinating family day out. Once a busy inland port and the centre of boat building activity.

The nearby castle ruins will give the kids a peek into the past and the playground at Canal Fields will help them run off steam. The Canadian totem pole will give both you and them something to talk about!
