Bayford is a small village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, set in a pleasant stretch of the Lea valley. The compact settlement sits among farmland, woodland and lakes associated with the nearby Bayfordbury estate, and is popular with walkers and anyone wanting easy country access; the parish also benefits from a local station on the Hertford East branch line, making commuting into London straightforward while retaining a rural feel.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a number of attractive older buildings including the parish church and elements of the country house estate, and the Bayfordbury site is notable for its scientific and educational use under the University of Hertfordshire. Social life in the village tends to centre on the church, the village hall and the pub, with occasional local events and a strong sense of community among long‑standing and newer residents alike.
