Batchworth is a civil parish in Three Rivers, Hertfordshire, England, sitting on the northern edge of Rickmansworth. The area is notable for its waterways - the Grand Union Canal and the River Colne - where historic features such as Batchworth Lock and stretches of former gravel pits turned into lakes and wetlands give a strong sense of place and attract wildlife and leisure users.
Historically the canals shaped local industry with wharves and boatyards, and today the parish is a mix of suburban housing, small businesses and recreational facilities; community groups often rally around canal heritage and waterside events. Its green corridors and transport links also make it a popular commuter location for people travelling into London.
