About

Woodside ward sits on the eastern edge of Watford, primarily consisting of residential neighbourhoods and significant green spaces. The area is largely defined by suburban housing, ranging from interwar semis to more recent developments, with local shopping parades serving the community. Its eastern boundary is marked by the M1 motorway, providing a clear separation from Hertfordshire's wider countryside.

A key feature is the presence of Cassiobury Park, one of Watford's largest and most historic parks, which extends into the ward's southern part. The parkland includes areas of ancient woodland and follows the course of the River Gade. The Grand Union Canal also runs through, with a stretch popular for towpath walks near the park's edge, contributing to the area's recreational character.
