Hoddesdon is a market town in the Borough of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Lea in the Lee Valley. Its riverside setting and nearby green spaces of the Lee Valley Regional Park give a pleasantly semi-rural feel even though the town lies close to major routes and commuters use Broxbourne railway station for quick journeys into London.
Hoddesdon has medieval market-town roots and a well-preserved Georgian and Victorian High Street, with echoes of its past in old maltings, nurseries and riverside wharves. The nearby Rye House - famous for the 1683 plot against the king and now home to a historic gatehouse and the Rye House Stadium - adds a distinctive local history, while today the town combines independent shops, light industry and an active community life.
