High Cross is a small hamlet in the district of East Hertfordshire in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Set amid rolling arable countryside, it comprises scattered farmhouses and cottages; the name itself suggests a historic wayside cross or crossroads, and the surrounding landscape retains hedgerows, small copses and field patterns typical of eastern Hertfordshire's long-settled rural parishes.
Economically the area remains rooted in agriculture with a sprinkling of local businesses, while many residents commute to larger towns for work. Social life is quietly community-focused, often centred on nearby village halls and pubs, and the hamlet is popular with walkers and cyclists using the network of lanes and public footpaths that link it to neighbouring villages and market towns.
