Groupon’s Guide To Hertfordshire

For acres of natural beauty, guests may head to Stevenage and take a walk around the picturesque Benington Lordship Gardens, before enjoying a bite to eat and a few drinks at one of the many restaurants and pubs in Hertford.

Visitors may also take a drive to St. Alban’s Cathedral, founded in 793AD, and marvel at its Gothic architecture, ornate ceilings, and medieval paintings. Next, they may delve into Roman history with a visit to the Verulamium Museum, home to some of the most intricate mosaics outside of the Mediterranean, before crossing over to the ruins of the Roman Theatre, built in circa 140AD.
