Hartham Common and Kingsmead: Hertford

Hartham Common is a well established open space, within only 5 minutes walk of Hertford town centre. Hartham Common benefits from a range of facilities including a leisure centre and swimming pool, public toilet, two well equipped play areas, a skate park, football pitches, bowling green, tennis courts, trim trail, ample vehicle parking with CCTV, and extensive riverside and woodland walks.

The Ridgeway: Hertford

This small park has two distinct areas. The upper area is a more formal urban recreation space with a Multi Use Games Area, children’s play area, ornamental shrub planting and an open grass area ideal for a variety of recreation activities and is a great space to hold events.  The lower section, referred to as the Dell, is much more informal with a style of play equipment that reflects this incorporated into the natural landscape.  The easy access pathway into the Dell connects to the surrounding environment and provides a wildlife corridor between the woodland areas and adjacent farmland. Parking is available at the adjacent Sele Community Centre. At The Ridgeway, Hertford, SG14 2JE.
