Dane End is a village to the north of Ware in Hertfordshire. Dane End is found between the A602 and A10.
The village is the main part of the parish of Little Munden, of which Dane End was once a minor hamlet. There is no Little Munden village as such, though Great Munden lies to the northeast. The village is reckoned to have a respectable population on its own aof around 700.
The name of Dane End does not refer to Viking marauders but is "Dene end" ("Valley end"), for it stands where a tributary of the River Lea comes off the surrounding chalk.[1]
