About

The Datchworth, Walkern and Cottered area lies in the rural east of Hertfordshire, characterised by its gently rolling farmland and small, historic villages. The landscape is defined by arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of ancient woodland, with the River Beane and its tributaries flowing through the valleys. Settlements like Walkern retain a traditional linear form along older roads, with a mix of timber-framed and brick-built houses surrounding their village greens and churches.

The area is traversed by several long-distance walking routes, including the Hertfordshire Way. A notable local feature is the preserved section of the former Hertford, Luton & Dunstable railway line near Cottered, now a quiet footpath and nature reserve known as the Oughtonhead Lane Local Nature Reserve, highlighting its transition from industrial use to a wildlife corridor.
