The area around Great Amwell and the Stansteads sits within East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England and follows the River Lea through the Lee Valley. It centres on the village of Great Amwell together with the neighbouring villages of Stanstead Abbotts and Stanstead St Margarets, combining riverside meadows, conservation areas and a heritage of mills and historic churches that reflect its long rural and riverside past.
