About

The Ashwell, Weston & Barley area comprises three distinct villages set within the rural landscape of North Hertfordshire. The settlements are separated by agricultural land, with the Icknield Way Path traversing the chalk downland. Ashwell is the largest, centred around its spring-fed ponds and historic church tower. Weston is a smaller linear village, while Barley sits on a hillside, its name derived from the Old English for 'clearing'.

The area is defined by its chalk stream, the River Rhee, which rises from springs in Ashwell. This watercourse supports local agriculture and historically powered mills.

The local geology is visible in the traditional buildings, constructed from clunch, a soft chalk limestone quarried in the region.
