The county of Herfordshire sits just north of London and is one of the greenist counties in southern England. It has some very pretty villages set in rolling countryside and lots of history.We are travelling by coach to:
Ashwell
The pretty village is dominated by the church of St. Mary the Virgin which contains lots of medieval graffiti. The oldest graffiti dates back to 1350 and is scribed into the church stone in Latin by someone talking about the affects of the Black Death on the village. The village also has lots of medieval houses and a spring which is the source of the River Cam.Hitchin Lavender
Just outside the town of Hitchin is a pretty lavender farm. We are going in July when the lavender is at its best. The main field is home to over 30 acres of lavender, creating a sea of purple. The farm is the largest lavender farm in the UK that allows visitors to pick lavender – you can purchase picking bags at the gate when we arrive. There is also a 2-acre display field showcasing around 60 different varieties of lavender. On site there is a tearoom - the Old Barn Tearoom, situated in a 17th century barn.Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted is a pretty settlement that's over 1000 years old. From 1066 to 1495, its castle was a favoured residence of royalty and notable historical figures.
