Welcome to Bovingdon

Bovingdon is a village located in the county of Hertfordshire, England. It is situated approximately 25 miles northwest of London and is part of the Three Rivers District. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century, with evidence of Roman and Saxon settlements in the area. Today, Bovingdon is a thriving community with a population of around 4,500 people.

One of the main attractions in Bovingdon is the Bovingdon Market, which is held every Saturday and Sunday. The market has been running for over 50 years and is one of the largest outdoor markets in the UK. It offers a wide range of goods, including fresh produce, clothing, toys, and household items. The market is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike and is a great place to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the village.

The airfield has also been used as a location for several popular films, including James Bond's "Quantum of Solace" and "The Dark Knight". The airfield is a unique and interesting part of Bovingdon's history and is worth a visit for anyone interested in aviation or film.
