  • Location

    This year Detectival we make a return on new land in Hertfordshire, near the historic town of Letchworth.

    Letchworth is located near the Icknield Way, one of the oldest roads in Britain, used during Roman times for trade and travel. This ancient route connected settlements across the country.

    We have around 1000 acres of land for you to search for historical items.
