Wonderful and welcoming 18 hole golf course set in mature Hertfordshire countryside. Blissfully quiet and the ideal venue for a society or a special event location. The club has just won the accolade of having the best amateur golf hole in the entire UK. Membership available.

I visited on a wet day and it was nice to go somewhere interesting to learn more about the local area and dry out a little. I was encouraged to check in using the Serco Track & Trace app. The museum is free to visit although you can make donations by cash and also contactless. The museum has lots of different things to learn about if you are an adult or a child. I also enjoyed the Jacobean garden. The museum is very user friendly for anyone whether they are able to use steps or not. The second floor has more to explore and I was interested in the Addis collection. I never knew there were so many different toothbrushes! There is a small area to buy gifts and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.

Fab theatre with a wide range of shows, both live and current film screenings. There is a large stage and a couple of smaller rooms for more intimate shows where we have seen close up magic and comedy. Bar is also a bonus. Had many an entertaining evening here. Always clean and staff helpful and attentive.
