Hazel Corner is located within easy reach of several major towns and cities. We can easily be accessed from Luton and Dunstable in the north, to Harpenden in the west, Berkhampstead in the east and Hemel Hempstead, St. Albans or Watford to the south. With our location just five minutes from junction 9 off the M1 we are even within easy reach of north London.

• Pass the truck-stop and Shell garage which is on your right
• Pass the Indian restaurant and Holiday In on your right
• Do not follow the signs into Markyate village
• But turn Right at the base of the pedestrian footbridge
