Where to stay in Highfield
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Highfield is somewhere to sleep rather than somewhere with hotels, and the few rooms sit on residential streets between Alexandra Road and Pennine Way, well away from any reception desk. Charter Tower is the thing to steer by. Most visitors book toward the middle of Hemel Hempstead and come out here for St Mary's Church, Hemel Hempstead or the Pennine Way stadium.

About Highfield
What are the main landmarks in Highfield?
Charter Tower is the odd survivor. St Mary's Church, Hemel Hempstead supplies the parish landmark, while the Church of The Resurrection and Alexandra Road Congregational Church add two further congregations to the district. Sport keeps its own address here, at the Pennine Way stadium.
Marchmont House and Piccotts End House round out the list.
What is the history of Highfield?
No single date opens Highfield's record; the buildings carry it instead, from Charter Tower to the parish church of St Mary's Church, Hemel Hempstead that the district was drawn out of. Nonconformity left its own mark. Alexandra Road Congregational Church gave a chapel to worshippers outside that parish, and the Church of The Resurrection came later still.
Marchmont House and Piccotts End House belong to the ground before the streets.
Where is Highfield?
Streets gather around Alexandra Road and Pennine Way, then thin out toward Piccotts End at the far edge of the district.
