Newgate Street is a small, semi‑rural village in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield, in Hertfordshire, England. It sits amid the chalk downland and hedged lanes typical of eastern Hertfordshire, close to the course of the River Mimram and within easy reach of the A1(M), which makes larger towns such as Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield and London readily accessible for commuters.
The settlement still shows its agricultural roots in a mix of historic cottages, converted farm buildings and a modest village centre; there are several listed buildings and a strong community feel with local clubs, pubs and country pursuits like walking and riding. Economically it combines small local businesses and farming with a significant commuter population, and its rural character and conservation interest make it a popular base for those seeking countryside within reach of larger urban centres.
