1. Bhaktivedanta Manor
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 193 reviews
In the Hertfordshire countryside just north of London, Bhaktivedanta Manor, complete with its farmlands, beautiful gardens and temple is a real sanctuary for the soul. Open all year round to visitors and students of ancient wisdom, the temple offers a great experience with tours of the shrine, gardens and compassionate farm. See the rooms of the famous Hare Krishna guru Srila Prabhupada, to whom George Harrison gifted this iconic mock Tudor mansion. Visitors may participate in inspirational talks, yoga classes, mantra meditation, vegetarian cooking classes and various retreats.

I try to visit Bhaktivedanta Manor as often as I can through out the year and especially during the Janmastahmi Festival (Krishna's Birthday) which usually falls sometime in August. This is a very tranquil place to visit, with lovely gardens, the pond, the woodland walk, the cow pen where you can purchase greens to feed the cows, and of course the magnificent temple. Such tranquil surroundings and a lovely place to just relax or start your spiritual journey. There are prayer times throughout the day so check their website for details of these if you would like to attend. There is a lovely cafe on site for refreshments, and prashad is always served too. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, you will have a wonderful uplifting experience.

Every Remembrance Sunday the roll of honour with the names of Wheathampstead Villagers who fell in WWI & WWII is read in the High Street at a Remembrance Day service. This is a memorial to those who fell during both conflicts. I think this is part of the Wheathampstead Heritage Trail, but can also be viewed by walking down the High Street.
4. St Albans Cathedral

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain. It stands over the place where Alban, the first martyr, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago.The building itself is a blend of architectural styles spanning a millennia and contains recycled Roman bricks from Verulamium. Of special interest are the 13th century wall paintings, a rare watching loft and the shrines of Saint Alban and Amphibalus, the priest who converted Alban to Christianity.

Another addition to my visits to Pre 1500 Cathedrals.. This one is more Norman than Gothic... Great history here... The volunteer guides are so helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly... Make sure you go on a guided tour.. at the time of my visit they were displaying the "Black Jesus" Last Supper painting... As for parking.. I suggest going to the Maltings Car park.. just a 5 to 10 min walk (depending on how quick you walk) to the Cathedral.

The St Mary Virgin Parish Church is located just on the edge of Ware town centre. It is set just away from the road which is good as it's a bit quieter so creates a very peaceful atmosphere. There are a few paths going through the churchyard which means there are a few people about but it is not too busy. A very tranquil place to encourage reflection.
