Chorleywood is a village and civil parish in the Three Rivers District, Hertfordshire, England. The village is located on the border with Buckinghamshire, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of central London. Chorleywood was originally a small rural settlement located within the parish of Rickmansworth. However, since the early 19th century, it has become a commuter village due to its proximity to London
The village is home to a number of amenities, including several schools, a golf club, and a selection of shops and restaurants. Chorleywood House, a Grade II listed building, is located in the village and is open to the public. The house was built in 1817 and was the former home of the Earls of Bridgewater.
