The character of Hatfield
Hatfield House sits in extensive private parkland, reached via its own gated entrance separate from the town's general road network, and access on event days follows the estate's own arrangements. The university campus, by contrast, is modern and purpose-built, with clear signage and dedicated visitor parking. The town centre in between is compact, rebuilt after wartime bombing and post-war planning, and straightforward to navigate.
