About How Wood

How Wood rests in Hertfordshire, a quiet corner of England's eastern heartland. It lies 3.8 km south-south-west of St Albans (from St Albans: bearing 192°T, OS grid TL 140 035), and is situated west-south-west of Park Street village. The air here, particularly on a crisp autumn morning, carries the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a constant reminder of the surrounding countryside that cradles How Wood. Its modest footprint suggests a history less of grand pronouncements and more of slow, steady growth, like the ancient oaks that might have given it its name. The lanes, often bordered by hedgerows thick with brambles and the occasional flash of a robin's breast, lead the eye towards fields that roll with a gentle, unassuming grace.
