Barley is a village and civil parish in the district of North Hertfordshire, England. According to the 2001 census, it has a population of 659,[1] increasing to 662 at the 2011 Census.[2] The place-name refers to a lea or meadow and not to the grain-producing plant. Coincidentally to the southwest lies the village of Reed.
