The small village of Nuthampstead is notable for being the home to an RAF base during the Second World War. The base was used by the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, one of the War’s most iconic aircraft.

The village is on the route of the Hertfordshire Way long-distance trail, which officially starts and ends in nearby Royston. If you're walking here, you can find sustenance and refreshment at the Woodman Inn.
