About

Northchurch ward is situated along the northern edge of the town of Berkhamsted, bordering open Hertfordshire countryside. The area includes a mix of residential streets, local shops, and community facilities centred around the High Street. The Grand Union Canal runs through the ward, with stretches of towpath providing routes for walking and cycling. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to more modern developments, with several schools and parks serving the local population.

The ward is named after, and includes, the original village of Northchurch, which retains a distinct historic character with its Norman church of St. Mary. The surrounding landscape features areas of woodland and common land, such as Northchurch Common, which extends towards the Ashridge Estate. This creates a direct transition from the built environment to rural footpaths and bridleways, defining the area's edge.
