The Berkhamsted Castle ward sits in the heart of Berkhamsted within Dacorum, Hertfordshire, England, centred on the Norman motte-and-bailey earthworks that give it its name. The castle mound and ruins, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, are a familiar local landmark close to the high street, the Grand Union Canal and the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills, offering a pleasing mix of green space and historic character.
The ward is largely residential but benefits from a lively town centre of independent shops, cafés and regular markets, and draws commuters thanks to fast rail links into London and notable local schools such as Berkhamsted School. Socially and economically it combines relatively affluent family neighbourhoods with an active community scene - conservation groups, festivals and volunteer organisations help maintain a strong local identity while protecting the historic streetscape.
