Dagnall, derived from the Old English for "Daegga's Knoll, is a popular village with a pub, a farm shop and village school. It is surrounded by countryside in the well wooded, low lying hills of the Chilterns. As a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this has enabled the village to retain some of the charm of a bygone era. It is adjacent to Ashridge Estate, which is owned and managed by The National Trust, and provides the opportunity for extensive walking and riding with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways.
For shopping, the closest town is historic Berkhamsted, which has a fine selection of stores including Waitrose, Marks and Spencer Food and a number of delicatessens. There is an excellent choice of places to dine out, with many bistros and pubs dotted along the High Street. Berkhamsted also offers both a Friday and Saturday weekly market, adding to the charm of this vibrant town.
With good schools, including the renowned public Berkhamsted School for Boys and Girls, and the prep school of Beechwood Park in Markyate, Swallow Cottage is well located. Dagnall also benefits from being within the catchment area of Aylesbury’s sought-after Grammar Schools. Buses for schools in the surrounding area pick up from the village High Street.
Nearest railway stations are Tring 5.6 miles and Berkhamsted 7.2 miles (google maps).
