Ridge Hertfordshire Map

About Ridge

Ridge, a quiet Hertfordshire hamlet, surveys its gentle slopes with an air of settled calm. It lies 3.6 km west of Potters Bar (from Potters Bar: bearing 259°T, OS grid TL 214 003), and is situated south-west of South Mimms village. The land here, a soft, yielding loam, seems to retain the memory of ancient ploughing, a whisper of generations who coaxed sustenance from its surface. Though no grand abbey or castle dominates the skyline, the scattered farmsteads and modest cottages speak of a continuity, a slow accretion of life under skies that often hold a pearly, diffused light. The occasional rustle of leaves in the bordering woodland, a sound as old as the trees themselves, is often the most pronounced noise to break the stillness.
