Four Henlow
Chances are those picture postcards of rural villages with a great pub and an unbelievably easy London commute were taken in Henlow. In this Pretty spot, there’s a 13th-century church that conspicuously beautifies the village square. Grade I listed parish church of St Mary the Virgin is a wonder to behold. We learned about the village’s historical connections to the Mayflower Pilgrims. Pilgrims Elizabeth Tilley and Henry Samson were baptized at this church before sailing on the Mayflower. Henlow is also well-connected—Arlesey station is just a stone’s throw away.
There are as many as three pubs in Henlow. The Crown where you can book gastro with rooms can make your go-to list for a tasty high-end Sunday lunch plus a good wine list. The Crown also runs special events like taco and margarita nights. The Engineer’s Arms hosts a gin festival while The Five Bells is a more trad pub. The Koi Café is spot on for brunch and caffeine.

  1. Alot of the images shown are wrong, more than half the Bromham pictures aren't Bromham
    The swiss garden isnt in Henlow either its in Shuttleworth. Maybe actually go to these places and take your own pictures rather than using stock images

  2. Born and bred here and lived in 4 of the villages you've listed and frequented the other three. You've either never visited any of them, or not paid that much attention (for your video, if you did, Henlow does not have an airshow – nor Swiss Gardens – Old Warden however does) – and that's just one example), the photos are out of date (and again I suspect, googled) poorly based the video on that… Clophill has the main A6 running through it and the busiest of roundabouts as a consequence…. I could go on… but I'm guessing you've actually done no research whatsoever….

  3. Out of date and weirdly researched. The Green Man in Clophill burnt down years ago. Cafe Goa in Barton has been shut about 2 years. Barton Cheap???? Very few shops – really?
    Barton has just about everything you could ever need.

  4. Is Clophill still a village? With the A6 running through it? Houghton Conquest and Thurleigh are more villages than most of these places mentioned I take it you just googled no proper research.
