Tewin is a beautiful little village nestled between Welwyn Garden City and Herford. It is a quintessential English village with not one but two scenic village greens, a village shop, and even two pubs. Saint Peter's church forms the religious fulcrum of the village, while the Memorial Hall forms the social hub of the hamlet, unless you like your pint of Guiness, and if that's the case, the social hub will be one of the two pubs!
