Baldock is a historic market town in north Hertfordshire, positioned along the A1 corridor between Letchworth Garden City and Stevenage. Its origins date back to the 12th century, giving the area a distinctive old-world charm visible in its medieval street layout and Georgian-fronted buildings. The River Ivel flows to the north, and the town’s name itself reflects its ancient heritage. Over the years, Baldock has evolved into a commuter hotspot thanks to its excellent transport connections into London and Cambridge, while retaining a strong sense of community.
