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. At the foot of the heath sits the thriving Heath Sports Club (HSC), with facilities including a gym, squash courts, bar and bistro. The HSC is home also home to Royston Hockey Club, Royston Rugby Club & Royston Runners amongst others.
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.
