The village and civil parish of Redbourn sits in the district of St Albans in Hertfordshire, England, perched on a chalk ridge overlooking the valley of the River Ver. It lies a few miles from both St Albans and Harpenden, with a traditional village high street, a wide common and countryside that reflects its position on the edge of the Chilterns landscape.
Historically prosperous from agriculture and milling, the village still features surviving older buildings and the restored watermill at Redbournbury Mill, while today it combines a commuter population with local shops, pubs, clubs and small enterprises. Community life is active: annual fetes, carnivals, sports clubs and heritage efforts keep a strong local identity alongside the pressures and benefits of being close to larger towns.
