Baldock West forms the western side of the market town of Baldock in the district of North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England. It is largely residential, mixing post‑war and more recent housing with pockets of open countryside on its edges, and benefits from good road and rail links that make it popular with commuters to London and Cambridge.
The area shares in Baldock’s long history as a medieval market town founded along the old Roman road, and retains a village‑scale community feel with local shops, churches and active community groups. Economically it leans on small businesses and services in the town centre while residents often work further afield, and the nearby green spaces and historic streets give it a distinctly Hertfordshire character.
