Northaw is a quiet village in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield, set within the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire in England. It sits by commons and woodland, with a traditional village green and a scattering of period cottages and larger houses, giving it a distinctly rural character while remaining within easy commuting distance of London and nearby rail links such as Cuffley.
The village has medieval roots and a strong local community centred on its parish amenities and occasional village events; there is little heavy industry, so the local economy is largely residential with small businesses and services supporting day‑to‑day life. Its mix of historic buildings, green open space and proximity to both countryside and town services makes Northaw a sought‑after spot for those wanting village life within reach of the capital.
