Immediately in the north of Greater London is one of England's finest counties called Hertfordshire and it is a portion of the Eastern England Government Office Region. In most of the county lives the London commuter belt. It joins its borders with those in the east of Hertfordshire is Essex, in the west is Buckinghamshire; in the north are Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

The apex point of the county is at 803 feet or 245 m above sea level, and is situated at a quarter mile or to be more precise its 400 m from the village of Hastoe that is near Tring.

Inspire of built up areas, most of the county is assigned to agriculture. Some digging of sand and gravel happens in the St. Albans region. Once upon a time clay was supplied to local brick making and still is in Bovingdon.

Since 1613, fresh water is available to London from Ware, through the New River, which was constructed under the supervision of Hugh Myddleton. Much of the counties own water supply comes from the chalk formation. Counties own rivers, gave enthusiasm to upcoming industries such as paper industry at Nash Mills.

Hertfordshire has HQs of many big and renowned UK companies. The only loss suffered is of aircraft producer at Hatfield as companies take benefit on land prices and shift to areas where land can be bought cheaper and recruitment of workers is easier. Generally, the land freed in this manner is used for housing projects or service industries.

When visiting Hertfordshire, visit Aldenham Country Park, Beech Bottom Dyke a large scale iron age protective or boundary ditch, Berkhamsted Castle, de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, Magic Roundabout located at Hemel Hempstead, Mill Green Watermill at Hatfield and many more such places are waiting to entertain you.

As Hertfordshire is located on the routes that run between London in the North, the North West and the Midlands so consequently it is well connected by rail and road routes and in the past was connected by canals.

The county has always been traversed by some of the principal roads in England, originally the A1, A5, A41, M11, A1 M and the M25. Commuter routes extend to serve the penetrating routes and the London Underground reaches to Watford.

Stansted and Luton are the two international airports that are located just outside the county. At Elstree, there is a busy, but small airport for light aircraft.

The Grand Union Canal that flows in west Hertfordshire, passing through Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted. Hertfordshire has twenty-six independent and seventy three state secondary schools. The state secondary schools are entirely controlled, although seven schools in the south and southwest of the county are little bit selective. All the state schools have sixth forms, but no sixth form college is there.

The third grade colleges, each with many campuses, are North Hertfordshire College, Oaklands College, Hertford Regional College and West Herts College. The University of Hertfordshire is a new and modern university, located mostly in Hatfield.

Clearly Hertfordshire is well worth a visit for all UK Tourists.
