Family-friendly

Bearton is the western side of Hitchin, a residential area between the town centre and the Oughton Head nature reserve. It has a mix of interwar and postwar housing, some larger detached places on the roads heading out of town. The primary schools around here are popular. You can walk into the town centre and to the station without too much trouble, which makes it practical for commuter families.
