Welcome to Barley

Barley is a small village located in the county of Hertfordshire, England. It is situated in the north-eastern part of the county, close to the border with Cambridgeshire. The village has a population of around 600 people and is known for its picturesque countryside, historic buildings, and friendly community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Barley is the 14th-century church of St. Margaret of Antioch. This beautiful church is built in the Gothic style and features a stunning tower and spire. Inside, visitors can admire the intricate stained glass windows and the ornate wooden carvings. The church is still in use today and holds regular services and events throughout the year.

Barley is also home to a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, serving up delicious food and drink to locals and visitors alike. The Chequers Inn is a popular spot for a pint of ale or a hearty meal, while The Fox and Hounds offers a more refined dining experience. For those who prefer to cook at home, there is a weekly farmers' market in the village where you can buy fresh produce and artisanal goods from local producers.
