Location - Aspenden
Aspenden is a charming English village nestled in the picturesque county of Hertfordshire, located only 2 miles from the town and amenities of Buntingford.

One of the standout features of Aspenden is its collection of historic buildings. The centrepiece of the village is St. Mary's Church, a magnificent parish church that dates back to the 12th century. St Mary’s offers a traditional style of worship with services on most Sundays, with other activities and events held throughout the year for families.

Set in the centre of the village, The Fox has been the only public house in Aspenden since the First World War. The current hosts, Rob and Emerald, offer a friendly welcome to their traditional English pub with a large beer garden, open fire in the winter, quality cask ales, delicious home-cooked food, theme nights and an annual beer festival.

Cricket has been played on the green since the 1960s with some notable achievements and continues to be an Aspenden ‘institution’. There is a newly refurbished children’s park and playground, and ample opportunities for nature lovers to explore the countryside, scenic footpaths and bridleways.

We encourage you to visit Aspdenden to see for yourself the wonderful features this hidden gem has to offer.
