Hertford, in Hertfordshire, had a population of around 29,400 at the 2021 census — the county town, sitting where four rivers meet.
The county town, and its castle
Hertford has been the county town of Hertfordshire since Saxon times, taking its name from the ford across the River Lea at the point where the Lea, Beane, Rib and Mimram all converge. Hertford Castle's surviving gatehouse dates to the 15th century, built on the site of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle that was already centuries old by then; the castle grounds are now a public park in the middle of town.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Hertford's status as a county town doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
