Therfield Heath
Therfield Heath is a
Nature Reserve on the chalk escarpment just north of
Therfield,
Hertfordshire. It has a testing
racetrack for horses on its slopes and is a popular spot with dog walkers and
birdwatchers. The site also offers very good views towards the north, over the
Cam valley. The Heath is a
golf course but nevertheless provides some fine walking.
The highest point of the Heath is
Therfield Hill. This top reaches 168m/551ft, the highest point for ten miles in every direction with a
prominence of about 72
m. The
trig point is near a side-road in the village of Therfield.
