High Street Trails

Do you want to learn more about Watford's local history? 

Although sadly we can’t offer our walking tours at the moment, we can instead provide teachers, community groups and societies with a trail route and information to follow the trail themselves.

The tour introduces children to the changing architectural and social history of Watford’s High Street.  On the way, you can spot the date of buildings, find out about Watford’s old police station, see traces of the old market, meet Watford FC’s hornet and discover the Fig Tree Tomb tale!
