Hinxworth is a small, mainly rural village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, sitting on gently rolling chalk countryside close to the Cambridgeshire border. The village is surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows and lies within a network of similar historic settlements, with larger service towns such as Ashwell, Royston and Baldock a short distance away, so many residents commute for work while enjoying a quiet country setting.
Despite its modest size, Hinxworth retains a strong sense of local history and community: there are older cottages and farm buildings that hint at medieval origins, surviving field patterns and conservation-minded residents who organise village events. The local economy remains largely agricultural alongside small-scale businesses and a social life centred on village gatherings and informal networks rather than commercial amenities.
