Hemel Hempstead, Planned town in Dacorum, England
Hemel Hempstead spans across the Gade Valley with residential neighborhoods arranged in a radial pattern from the commercial center.
The settlement, mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hamelamestede, received its town charter from King Henry VIII in 1539.
The parish church of St Mary's, constructed in 1140, stands as a central gathering point with one of the tallest spires in Europe.
The town maintains direct rail connections to London Euston station, with services running frequently throughout the day.
The traffic system includes an innovative arrangement of six mini-roundabouts encircling a central hub, known locally as the Magic Roundabout.
