Redbourn is a large village and civil parish in the borough of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England, set on the gentle valley of the River Ver a few miles northwest of St Albans and Harpenden. Its compact high street, broad village green and surrounding water meadows give it a rural character even though it sits within easy commuting distance of London.
Historically the village features a medieval parish church, a number of timber‑framed houses and the working mill at Redbournbury on the River Ver, while contemporary life revolves around pubs, independent shops, a cricket club and regular community events. The local economy mixes small‑scale agriculture and family businesses with a sizeable commuter population, so Redbourn retains a strong community feel alongside good transport links and easy access to nearby towns.
