The village of Chorleywood sits in the district of Three Rivers in Hertfordshire, in south-east England, on the edge of the Chilterns and the Metropolitan Green Belt. It’s known for its large open spaces such as Chorleywood Common and surrounding beech woodland, and benefits from fast rail links into London via the Metropolitan line, making it a popular commuter location.
Historically a rural settlement, Chorleywood gained wider recognition in the 1960s when the Chorleywood bread process was developed at the local baking research association; today the village combines an affluent residential profile with a busy local centre, good schools, clubs and pubs, and attractions such as the Chorleywood House Estate, giving it a strong community feel while retaining easy access to countryside and the capital.
