Set among the meadows and pubs of Hertfordshire, Harpenden has long drawn day-trippers from London for a slower pace without sacrificing good food. Its high street rewards a wander, with cosy cafes for a mid-morning pause and a strong lineup of restaurants for something more substantial. Those staying longer will find comfortable hotels nearby, making it an easy base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
