In the heart of Hertfordshire, on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, close to the M1 and not far from the main rail link between London and the West Midlands, Hemel Hempstead is a historically well-situated town. And what a history that is, stretching all the way back to Roman times.

Of course, there’s plenty to recommend in busy, modern, family-friendly Hemel today. It’s well-served with shops, cafes, pubs, outdoor markets and the old town, which adds plenty of charm. Or you could head for the fun-packed Jarman Park leisure centre with its multiplex cinema, ten-pin bowling, water park, ice rink and dry ski slope. Just make sure you don’t get trapped on the town’s infamous Magic Roundabout.
