Colney Heath is a village and civil parish in the district of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, lying a few miles to the north of the city. It sits on the low-lying valley of the River Colne and is notable for the large open expanse of Colney Heath Common, an area of heath and wetland that attracts walkers and birdwatchers and preserves a strong sense of countryside on the edge of the suburban belt.
Historically a farming and common-grazing community, Colney Heath has become largely a commuter village while keeping a lively local life with a primary school, village hall, shops and sports clubs such as the local football team. The mix of natural habitats, community events and easy transport links into St. Albans and London give it a balance of rural character and modern convenience.
