Berkhamsted West is the residential western flank of the market town of Berkhamsted in the borough of Dacorum, Hertfordshire, England. It sits close to the town centre and station and benefits from easy access to the Grand Union Canal and the rolling scarp of the Chiltern Hills, giving a mix of period terraces, interwar and later family housing with small local shops and parks.
Locally the area has a strong community feel, with active residents’ groups, good schools and a high proportion of commuters travelling to London, while the wider town’s historic assets such as the castle ruins and canal heritage inform a quieter, conservation-minded character and a steady local economy focused on services and independent retail.
