Hertfordshire is brimming with fantastic things to see and do, so you are sure to discover something wonderful on your visit in this beautiful hidden gem of a county.

Hertfordshire - or 'Herts' as the locals call it - is just north of London and its array of attractions and destinations can be reached in as little as 20mins by train from the capital. So you can immerse yourself in stunning countryside and incredible cultural sites in next to no time!

If you don't know where to begin, why not head to our Visit Herts Blog for great ideas of what to see and do in Hertfordshire, today, this week or this season? For year round top tips, our Inspirational Ideas section has plenty of top ten ideas for family days out, romantic escapes, historic sites, and even the best places to find afternoon tea in Hertfordshire!

But if you know you're more of an adrenaline junkie than culture vulture, then browse through our selections below for ideas on different themed things to do in our county - active adventures, family fun, arts and culture, heritage and gardens, or nature and wildlife. Browse them all and start building your perfect itinerary!

When you're finished, make sure you visit our Stay and Eat pages and then see What's On during your visit at our events page.
