Fortified on both banks of the River Lea since 913, Hertford has been the county town of Hertfordshire for over a thousand years, sitting around twenty miles north of central London. Hertford Castle, raised shortly after the Norman Conquest, anchors the compact market-town centre. McMullen's Brewery has brewed here since 1827.
Hertford and Hertford Heath are among the most sought-after neighbourhoods for school catchments, with Bengeo and Sele extending the residential choice northward. Two stations, Hertford East on the Liverpool Street line and Hertford North on the line to Moorgate and King's Cross, give the town's roughly 29,000 residents direct access to central London in under an hour.
