Woodhall Farm

Woodhall Farm is a residential neighbourhood in Hemel Hempstead, within the borough of Dacorum, Hertfordshire. Built during the town’s New Town expansion, the area is centred on a local shopping parade and a community centre, with Woodhall Farm Primary School serving younger children. The estate’s street pattern uses short cul-de-sacs and a network of pedestrian routes that run beneath and alongside carriageways, linking housing clusters directly to the shops and green spaces rather than routing foot traffic onto main roads.

Local open space includes small parkland, play areas and sports pitches that are used by neighbourhood groups and school teams. Regular bus services connect the estate with Hemel Hempstead town centre and the railway station, which offers rail services into London; main road routes provide quick access to the M1. Day-to-day life in Woodhall Farm tends to revolve around the parade and community centre, where charity events, parent-and-toddler groups and local meetings are scheduled through the year.
