Northchurch is an electoral ward in Dacorum, Hertfordshire, England, centred on the village of the same name just north of Berkhamsted. It sits in the Bulbourne valley where the River Bulbourne and the Grand Union Canal run, and lies beneath the Chiltern Hills close to the Ashridge Estate, giving a mix of riverside and countryside landscapes popular with walkers and visitors.
The ward retains a village character with historic features such as St Mary’s Church and local community events, while also functioning as part of the London commuter belt via nearby rail links. Historically agricultural, it now combines heritage and small local businesses with a population of long‑standing residents and newer commuters, reflecting higher house prices and an active local social life.
