Hertford Heath is a village and civil parish in the district of East Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England. It sits on a ridge above the River Lea valley and is ringed by traditionally managed heath and common land, giving it notable open views and valuable habitats for heathland plants and birds.
Historically shaped by common grazing and small-scale agriculture, Hertford Heath today mixes historic cottages with more modern housing and a modest set of local shops, a primary school and village hall; many residents commute to Hertford, Ware or London. The community is active in conserving the commons and staging local events, and the combination of semi-rural character and good transport links makes it a popular place to live within easy reach of larger towns.
