About

The Arlesey and Henlow area sits on the border of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, characterised by a mix of residential development and open countryside. The River Hiz flows through the landscape, with the Greensand Ridge providing a gentle topographic rise. Historically, the economy was linked to brickmaking, utilising the local clay, and agriculture. The main railway line from London to the North runs through Arlesey, which has a station, connecting the area directly to the capital.

A notable local feature is the large, disused Arlesey Old Moat and Glebe Quarry, now flooded and forming a significant wildlife lake. Henlow is home to a long-established Royal Air Force station, which continues to be a major local employer. The area retains several village greens and common land, such as Henlow Camp Green, with walking routes along the River Hiz and through the surrounding farmland defining the rural edges of the settlements.
