A peaceful Hertfordshire village surrounded by gentle countryside and timeless footpaths.
Much Hadham is one of those hidden-gem villages that rewards walkers who like things quiet and authentic. Nestled in a rural valley near the River Ash, it’s lined with timber-framed houses, a beautiful old church, and scenic lanes that roll out into meadows, woods, and farmland.
Walking routes from Much Hadham connect to Little Hadham, Widford, and Green Tye, making it ideal for short circular walks or part of a multi-village walking weekend. It’s a great place to pause, wander, and reconnect with slower rhythms of rural life.
The village is also known as the birthplace of sculptor Henry Moore, whose art can be explored nearby at the Henry Moore Studios & Gardens.
Village pubs, B&Bs, and countryside cottages for a slow escape.
