Albury is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England that feels more like a scattering of farms, cottages and lanes than a compact settlement. Its roots are medieval and the built environment includes a parish church and a number of older houses and farm buildings set amid arable fields and pockets of woodland, giving the area a distinctly tranquil, conservation-minded character.
Historically centred on agriculture, the local economy now mixes small-scale farming and rural businesses with commuters travelling to nearby market towns and to London. Community life tends to orbit the village hall and church, with occasional fêtes and local events, and the parish is popular with walkers and those interested in traditional Hertfordshire countryside and historic village streetscapes.
