New Muddy Stilettos guide reveals Berkhamsted and Tring among best places to live in Hertfordshire

Berkhamsted and Tring are among the best places to live in Hertforshire, according to a new guide.

The guide has been compiled by digital platform Muddy Stilettos, in association with Strutt & Parker, which has launched its 2023 ‘Top 250 Best Places To Live’.

A spokesman for Muddy Stilettos said: “This is essential reading whether people are looking to move area, or are just curious to see if where they live has made the cut.”

The Best Places To Live in 2023 in Hertfordshire, included Berkhamsted at the top of the list, with Tring coming in at number nine.

The guide says of Berkhamsted: “This chi-chi canal-side market town feels like a little bit of London right here in Hertfordshire, with its trendy shops and eateries, while its rural surrounds and speedy trainline make Berkhamsted a commuter’s dream.”

However it does warn: “The catch? Well, it’s not cheap, but compared to London it’s a steal, especially when you throw in the proximity to the Chilterns and the acres of surrounding countryside to explore.”

Meanwhile Tring is suggested as an alternative, with the guide saying: “If you love the idea of hip Berkhamsted but can’t quite stretch to the house prices, allow us to introduce you to Tring.”

The town is praised for its “high street packed with indies, a family-friendly feel and direct access to the Chilterns”.

Muddy Stilettos, the UK’s No1 women’s lifestyle website outside London, says the guide draws upon its unparalleled local knowledge and insight into the 28 most sought-after counties in England, guiding potential buyers to the local hot spots and up-and-coming areas in 2023.

Hero Brown, founder and editor-in-chief of Muddy Stilettos added: “When people decide to move, they’re searching for more than just a house - they want a home, a lifestyle that works for them and their family, and if they’re strategic, a long-term investment too. Our 2023 Top 250 Best Places to Live’ guide will give them that extra reassurance they need to make their search easier in these difficult economic times.”
