Great Amwell is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Hertfordshire in Hertfordshire, England, sitting on the southern edge of the Lee Valley close to the River Lea. It lies a short drive from Ware and Hertford and has the feel of a historic Hertfordshire village, with a village green, old stone cottages and a parish church set among water meadows and lanes popular with walkers.
Locally notable are the springs and wetland habitats around the village, including the Amwell Nature Reserve, which attract winter wildfowl and dragonflies and give the area ecological interest. Economically it functions largely as a rural-residential community with some farming and equestrian activity, while many residents commute into London and the nearby towns, so the parish combines a quiet countryside character with easy access to urban amenities.
