Therfield is a small village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, a few miles north of Royston close to the border with Cambridgeshire. It sits beneath the striking chalk escarpment of Therfield Heath, an extensive area of common land and chalk grassland known for its panoramic views, rich wildflower and butterfly populations, and surviving Bronze Age barrows and earthworks.
The village has a compact historic core with a medieval parish church and a long agricultural heritage; today the local economy combines farming with residents who commute to nearby towns and London. The Heath is valued both for recreation and for conservation - managed as a local nature reserve and SSSI - making the community strongly tied to its distinctive landscape and archaeology.
