Buntingford lies on the River Rib and the Roman road Ermine Street and was mainly a staging post with coaching inns. The town has a large number of mediaeval and Georgian buildings, including Buntingford Almshouses, Buntingford Manor House and the Red House. Its attraction as a place to live has grown considerably and to compensate there has been some property development in the last twenty years.
