A brief history of Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted's story runs from a pivotal Norman castle to a thriving canal-side market town.
Berkhamsted has ancient and Saxon origins, but its place in history was cemented after the Norman Conquest: it was at Berkhamsted in 1066 that the English leaders submitted to William the Conqueror on his way to London. A major Norman motte-and-bailey castle was built here around 1070 to control the northern approach to the capital, later occupied by figures including Thomas Becket and the Black Prince; its earthworks and ruins survive beside the station.
The town grew as a market and malting centre, and the arrival of the Grand Junction (Grand Union) Canal in the 1790s and the railway in the 19th century brought trade and growth, with boatbuilding, breweries and timber yards along the canal. Berkhamsted School, founded in 1541, and later the celebrated Rex cinema, are among its landmarks; the writer Graham Greene was born in the town.
Flood risk in Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted sits in the valley of the River Bulbourne alongside the canal, so flood risk is a check for some low-lying and waterside addresses.
The River Bulbourne and the Grand Union Canal run through the valley at the heart of the town, and low-lying land along the river and canal can carry a risk of river and surface-water flooding, particularly in heavy rainfall. Much of the town rises onto higher Chilterns ground at lower risk. As with any valley town, flood risk should be checked at property level.

Who Berkhamsted suits, and what to watch
- Best for: families drawn by strong state and independent schools, a lively high street and Chilterns countryside, with a workable London commute.
- Commute: Berkhamsted station runs on the West Coast Main Line into London Euston in around 35 minutes; the A41 bypass links quickly to Hemel Hempstead and the M25.
- Budget reality: flats start around £372,000 while family houses run from £700,000 to well over £1m, so your budget sets the type of home.
- Watch for: period and canal-side homes are common, budget for a survey and check any conservation-area or flood considerations before committing.
- Protect it: on a mortgage of this size, life cover and income protection matter, that advice is free to you, because we are paid by the insurer, not by you.
