Blackmore End is a small rural hamlet on the edge of the city of St Albans in Hertfordshire, England. Tucked into open countryside and greenbelt farmland, it consists of a scatter of cottages and farmsteads rather than a defined village centre, giving it a quiet, agricultural character while remaining only a short drive from the shops and services of St Albans.
The hamlet benefits from proximity to the rich Roman and medieval heritage of St Albans and good commuter links into central London, so the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and residents who travel for work. Social life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and parish amenities, producing a close-knit, distinctly rural community feel.
