About

Hitchin Walsworth is a residential ward situated directly north of Hitchin town centre. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside some more modern developments. Its streets are arranged in a grid-like pattern, with a noticeable slope rising away from the main town. The ward is bounded by the railway line to the west and the A505 to the north, creating a distinct and contained neighbourhood feel.

A defining characteristic is the presence of the Hitchin Priory, a historic manor house with grounds that border the ward, offering a quiet green space.
