Little Gaddesden is a picturesque village and civil parish in the borough of Dacorum, part of Hertfordshire in England. Tucked into the northern edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it sits beside the vast Ashridge Estate, whose woodland, commons and the grand Ashridge House provide a dramatic rural backdrop and attract walkers and visitors year‑round.
The village keeps a strong historic and community feel, with timber‑framed cottages, a traditional parish church and a village green, while local life mixes agriculture, tourism and small‑scale businesses. It’s popular with people who commute to London and with outdoor enthusiasts, and its proximity to towns such as Berkhamsted and Tring means good local services without losing a distinctly rural character.
