Flamstead is a village and civil parish in north‑west Hertfordshire, England, close to the junction of the A5 and the M1 motorway at junction 9. The settlement is part of the St Albans area, which is a cathedral city situated 20 miles north‑west of London and 8 miles south‑west of Welwyn Garden City. St Albans itself was the first major town on the old Roman road of Watling Street for travellers heading north and became the city of Verulamium. The proximity of Flamstead to major transport routes offers residents convenient travel options while the village setting provides a quieter, more rural lifestyle compared to the urban centre of St Albans. The locality’s character is shaped by its civil parish status and its location within the broader Hertfordshire county, giving it a blend of local community feel and accessibility to larger towns and London.
