About

Sandridge & Wheathampstead ward encompasses a large, predominantly rural area northeast of St Albans city centre. It includes the historic villages of Sandridge and Wheathampstead, along with surrounding hamlets and farmland. The landscape is characterised by the River Lea valley, commons, and wooded areas, creating a distinct separation from the more urban parishes. The ward's boundaries stretch out to include parts of the Hertfordshire countryside, emphasising its green belt status.

The area is known for its conservation areas and protected sites, including the Devil's Dyke, an ancient Iron Age earthwork near Wheathampstead. Local life centres around the village high streets, community halls, and several well-regarded schools. Public transport links provide access to St Albans and Hatfield, but the overall feel is that of a collection of separate, established settlements within a wider agricultural and green landscape.
