Hertfordshire s happiest and unhappiest places to live have been revealed using data for personal wellbeing analysed by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The ONS has used the results of a national survey which asked people to rate their level of happiness out of ten in order to give council areas across the UK an overall average score.
The data from the Annual Population Survey covers the period between April 2019 and March 2020, overlapping into the build up of the first national lockdown on March 23, 2020.
The statistics show that St Albans City and District Council and East Herts Council are the happiest places to live, with both having a score of 7.9 out of 10.
The picturesque natural surroundings stimulated Moore’s creativity – from the rolling landscape itself to the rocks and orchards found throughout the estate.
Having established the Henry Moore Foundation in 1977, Moore gifted the grounds, buildings and contents of his 70-acre estate to the Foundation, which continues to conserve and present his work in the setting in which it was created.

The peaceful grounds of Henry Moore Studios & Gardens are just a short trip from London, and accessible from two local train stations.
They present Moore’s iconic sculptures in the landscape where he conceived them, offering visitors the opportunity to interact with the works physically as well as intellectually.
