Map of the UK

Panshanger is a residential ward on the edge of the town of Hatfield, within the borough of Welwyn Hatfield in Hertfordshire, England. It sits close to the green expanse of Panshanger Park, a remnant of the old country estate with lakes and woodland that gives the area a semi-rural feel despite good road links into central Hatfield and London.

Locally the ward combines commuter-oriented housing with pockets of older streets and community facilities, and benefits from the nearby employment and educational hubs around Hatfield, including the University of Hertfordshire. There’s a sense of local history tied to the former Panshanger estate, while contemporary life centres on schools, shops and leisure spaces used by families and long-term residents alike.
