Reed is a small rural village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire in England. Tucked among farmland and winding lanes close to the county boundary with Cambridgeshire, it retains a compact, picturesque core of traditional cottages and quiet country roads rather than modern development.
Historically the village grew from its farming roots and still centres on an ancient parish church and a number of historic, often listed, buildings; parts of the settlement are treated as a conservation area. The local economy remains largely agricultural with a mix of retirees and commuters who travel to nearby market towns or into London, and the community is noted for its small‑scale local events and quiet, close‑knit social life.
