About

Shenley sits on rolling fields and small pockets of woodland within Hertsmere. The village core has a linear arrangement of lanes, a parish church of medieval origin and a walled parkland that opens onto a public green and a cricket pitch used by local teams. Housing ranges from older farmsteads and cottages to 20th-century estates; pockets of farmland and footpaths link the conservation areas to larger open parcels used for arable and grazing. Day-to-day life centres on the village hall, parish facilities and occasional community events held in the parkland.

South Mimms occupies the parish to the north, with lanes and a compact village centre sitting beside the M25/A1(M) interchange. The motorway services that carry the village name are a familiar local landmark and the junction shapes village access more than any other road. The parish contains scattered farms, historic lanes and a parish church that reflects several building phases. Woodland strips and hedgerows mark old field boundaries, and several public footpaths cross the area, linking fields and small greens used by residents for short walks.
