The perfect mix of city and countryside
The popular commuter town of Broxbourne sits between Charing Cross and the Essex border in Hertfordshire. From here, you're less than an hour from central London, but the Hertfordshire countryside offers a respite from busy city life, too.
Visit Lee Valley Park for 10,000 acres of open parkland. Orienteering, water sports, nature trails and cycling are just some of the activities you can do here.
