Standing on the river Stort, the market town of Bishop's Stortford lies in rural Hertfordshire just over the border from the county of Essex. Offering superb access via the M11 motorway, main line railway station and the local international airport of Stansted, Bishop's Stortford has established it's importance not only as a market town in it's own right but also as a favoured commuter area for the city of London.
Within the town you will find all the shops and facilities associated with a thriving community and the many restaurants, bars, cafes and pubs offer a seemingly endless choice of venue for the more socially orientated person. If you prefer your leisure time to be more relaxing then you can take advantage of the abundance of local amenities - 4 cinemas, 5 ten pin bowling alleys, 7 swimming pools, 2 ice rinks, 3 go-karting tracks, 2 roller skating rinks and even banger racing and greyhound racing are all available within easy reach.
Local schooling is also excellent with the choice of either independant education or the many secondary and primary schools, for those with young children there are some 14 nursery and toddler groups to choose from.
Despite the growth of the town, the retention of over 90 acres of parks and open spaces as 'green wedges' into the centre of town from the Metropolitan Green Belt that surrounds it, has prevented excessive urbanisation
