Baldock in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England is a compact historic market town founded in the 12th century by the Knights Templar at the junction of ancient routes such as Ermine Street and the Icknield Way. Its medieval street plan still shapes the town centre and a mix of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings reflects its long history and market tradition.
Today Baldock is a mix of independent shops, small industry and commuter housing, with regular markets and community events that keep a strong local feel.
