The village of Great Wymondley is actually smaller than neighbouring Little Wymondley, owing its title to the fact it was there first, rather than its size. Its parish contains two scheduled monuments: Wymondley Roman Villa and Great Wymondley Castle, the earthworks of a former motte and bailey fortress. After a hike in the Hertfordshire countryside, the Green Man pub is a good option for a refuel.

Despite the 'little' in its name, the attractive village of Little Wymondley is actually larger than neighbouring Great Wymondley. It's home to several interesting old buildings, including the Grade II*-listed St Mary's Church. The village is on the Hertfordshire Way long-distance path and there are a few places to eat and drink, as well as accommodation options.
