Hertfordshire university review

Hannah C
star rating

 One of the "Home Counties": that encompass the urban sprawl of modern London, Hertfordshire was one of the first areas to receive the (sometimes dubious) benefits of planned towns. Letchworth, founded in 1903, was the first "garden city" in England, followed soon after by Welwyn Garden City.

Though these suburban areas may be of some interest to students of architecture and town planning, more travelers will be drawn to Hertfordshire by Hatfield House, one of the great treasure houses of England.

Hatfield House was built by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, from 1607, on the remains of the Royal Palace of Hatfield, where Queen Elizabeth I spent her childhood. One wing of that early palace survives in the gardens of the present house.

The State Rooms are filled to overflowing with fine art and furniture, while the house is surrounded by 52 acres of formal gardens begun by John Tradescant the Elder.
