Ashwell is a compact village and civil parish in the district of North Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England, lying between Baldock and Royston. Set on chalk uplands, it retains a traditional stone‑built High Street and village green and sits in an attractive rural landscape popular with walkers.
The village is known for its large medieval parish church, a small local museum and a handful of pubs and independent shops, and the community stages traditional events through the year. Ecologically it benefits from nearby chalk springs and green spaces, while many houses and barns reflect centuries of history, giving the place a strong sense of continuity even as it sits within commuting distance of larger towns.
