Hogpits Bottom is a small, typically rural hollow within the borough of Dacorum in Hertfordshire, England. It sits among the patchwork of woodlands, hedgerows and pasture that characterise much of the district, and is the sort of minor landscape feature often appreciated by local walkers and naturalists rather than a settled village or urban centre.
The curious name hints at historic agricultural uses - piggeries or sunken earthworks are common origins for similar toponyms - and today the area’s value tends to be ecological and recreational as much as economic, supporting grazing, small-scale farming and informal countryside leisure for nearby communities. Though little known beyond the locality, places like Hogpits Bottom contribute to Dacorum’s rural character and sense of local history.
