The ruined walls of Berkhamsted Castle, a Norman motte-and-bailey raised shortly after the Conquest, stand at the edge of the town centre, while the High Street preserves the oldest-known jettied timber-framed building in Great Britain, built between 1277 and 1297. Around 21,000 people live in the town. Set in the Bulbourne Valley in Hertfordshire, Berkhamsted is surrounded by the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Berkhamsted is widely regarded as one of Dacorum's most school-competitive postcodes for state places, with Little Gaddesden and Crossways drawing families who want village or edge-of-town settings alongside strong catchment access. London Northwestern Railway services from Berkhamsted station reach Euston in around 35 minutes.
