Abbots Langley & Bedmond

Abbots Langley & Bedmond ward encompasses a large area of Hertfordshire, blending residential neighbourhoods with significant stretches of Green Belt land. The settlement of Abbots Langley is the primary population centre, featuring local shopping parades, schools, and community facilities. Bedmond, to the north, maintains a more village-like character with its own historic core. The ward's landscape is defined by agricultural fields, woodland, and the Grand Union Canal, which runs along its western edge.

The area has a strong historical identity, being the birthplace of Nicholas Breakspear, who became Pope Adrian IV. This heritage is reflected in local street names and the church of St Lawrence. A notable local feature is the Leavesden Country Park, created on the former grounds of the Leavesden Mental Hospital, now providing extensive public green space. The ward is also home to a major film studio complex, a significant local employer situated on a former airfield site.
