Shenleybury is a small hamlet within the parish of Shenley, in the city district of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It sits amid rolling agricultural land and woodland on the north‑west fringe of the city, a quiet collection of farmsteads, a few historic houses and lanes rather than a built‑up village; the area is also part of the Metropolitan Green Belt so retains a rural feel despite being within commuting distance of London.
Historically the locality grew up around country estates and farming, and you can still see period buildings and historic landscaping that hint at that past. Today the economy is a mix of agriculture, small local businesses and residents who commute to nearby towns and the capital; socially and culturally people tend to look to nearby Shenley and St. Albans for shops, pubs and events, making Shenleybury a quietly residential and historically interesting pocket of Hertfordshire countryside.
