Welwyn is a compact, historic village in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield, county of Hertfordshire, England. It sits in the chalk-valley of the River Mimram, a classic chalk stream whose springs gave the village its name, and has visible roots in the Anglo‑Saxon and medieval periods alongside a village centre of shops, pubs and a parish church.
Today Welwyn combines a quiet village atmosphere with easy commuting: it lies close to the planned town of Welwyn Garden City and has good rail and road links into London. The local scene mixes conservation of historic buildings and riverside walks with a mainly residential economy and the small-scale industry and services found across the Welwyn Hatfield borough.
