Map of the UK

Reed is a small village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire in England. Tucked into rolling chalk and arable farmland near the market town of Royston and close to the Cambridgeshire border, it has a long rural history evidenced by its parish church and a scatter of older cottages that reflect medieval and agricultural origins.

Today Reed remains largely agricultural but also functions as a quiet commuter village thanks to nearby rail and road links to Royston, Cambridge and London. Community life is focused on the parish church, occasional village events and the village hall or pub, giving it the compact, tight‑knit character typical of small Hertfordshire parishes.
