Northchurch is a small, largely residential village and civil parish in the borough of Dacorum, Hertfordshire, England, sitting in the shallow valley of the River Bulbourne just north of Berkhamsted. Its setting beneath the Chiltern Hills and close to the towpath of the Grand Union Canal gives easy access to countryside walking and the canal-side leisure scene, while main roads and the nearby railway make commutable links to London straightforward.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and an attractive parish church at its heart, and today it functions as a quiet community with local shops, pubs and active residents’ groups rather than a commercial centre. The proximity to Berkhamsted with its castle remains, canal locks and market amenities means Northchurch benefits from both village tranquillity and easy access to richer cultural and historic attractions in the area.
