Braughing is a village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England. It lies in the quiet, rural valley of the River Rib, surrounded by arable farmland and hedgerows, so the village has a distinctly agricultural character even as many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
The place is notable for a long history: the surrounding landscape contains important Iron Age and Roman archaeological remains and finds, and the village retains a compact historic centre with a parish church and active community life. Today Braughing’s economy blends farming, small local businesses, village pubs and clubs, and a strong sense of local identity reflected in regular community events.
