Hitchwood

LU2 8 / SG4 7 / SG4 8

Village feel

A rural area to the east of Hitchin taking in scattered settlements and farmland. Preston village is the most notable spot, with a proper village green and a well-regarded pub, the Red Lion. Otherwise this is open countryside with limited housing and no real services. People living here have chosen to be out in the sticks and are comfortable with driving everywhere.
