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 168 m (551 ft), 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.
