The Heath is a common on which sheep are still regularly grazed. The site offers views towards the north, over the valley of the Cam as far as Cambridge. The heath contains a long barrow, thought to be neolithic, and several bronze age round barrows, all of which English Heritage classes as scheduled ancient monuments. The round barrow cemetery is the largest known example of its type in Hertfordshire.[5][6] Therfield heath was reportedly favoured by King James I as a hunting ground.[7] The highest point of the Heath is Therfield Hill. This top reaches 168 m (551 ft), the highest point for twelve miles in every direction with a relative height of about 72 m. The top is crowned by a water tower. Church Hill has many rare pasqueflowers, which flower in early spring.[3] The Heath can be accessed from Baldock Road. {{commons category}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001839.pdf |title=Therfield Heath citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 July 2013}} {{coord|52.0423|-0.05491|region:GB_source:enwiki-osgb36(TL331372)|display=title}}{{SSSIs Hertfordshire}}{{Local Nature Reserves in Hertfordshire}}{{Hertfordshire-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271001839%27 |title=Map of Therfield Heath|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 July 2013}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.lnr.naturalengland.org.uk/Special/lnr/lnr_details.asp?C=0&N=therfield&ID=465 |title= Therfield Heath|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 July 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=lnrIndex&query=REF_CODE%3D%271009200%27 |title=Map of Therfield Heath|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 July 2013}} 5. ^{{NHLE|num=1010428 |desc=|accessdate=12 January 2016}} 6. ^{{NHLE|num=1010431 |desc=|accessdate=12 January 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43617 |title=A History of the County of Hertford}} 6 : Hills of Hertfordshire|Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Hertfordshire|Local Nature Reserves in Hertfordshire|Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Hertfordshire|North Hertfordshire District|Heaths of the United Kingdom |
