Much Hadham & Hunsdon

Much Hadham sits on a stretch of lanes and fields in East Hertfordshire with a compact village core and a conservation area of older houses. The settlement grew around a priory founded in the 12th century, and fragments of that medieval presence remain alongside later timber-framed and brick buildings. A parish church and a village green mark the centre, with a village hall and local shops serving residents. Public footpaths lead out to arable land and hedgerows, and a small network of lanes links the village to neighbouring hamlets and services in the district.

The neighbouring village of Hunsdon lies a short distance away and is marked by Hunsdon House, a redbrick manor with a walled garden and a Tudor gatehouse linked to court households in the 16th century. Close to the village is the site of the former RAF Hunsdon airfield, used during the Second World War and visible in field patterns and surviving buildings. Both villages share a rural setting with lanes, hedgerows and trails that connect farms, woods and small waterways across this part of East Hertfordshire.
