Station and Hatfield Station are a short drive with fast connections to London Liverpool St and London Kings Cross. Heathrow, Stansted and Luton Airports are approximately 45 mins drive.
Brickendon has a thriving community that enjoys a village pub, a village hall, Brickendon Grange golf club and there are numerous footpaths and bridleways through the surrounding countryside.
