Castle Hedingham is a compact historic parish in the district of Braintree, Essex, in eastern England. Set in rolling arable countryside, the village keeps a traditional centre of timber‑framed houses, narrow lanes and a village green rather than large urban development.
Its most striking feature is Hedingham Castle, a remarkably well‑preserved Norman stone keep built for the de Vere family, which attracts visitors and underpins a local economy of farming, small enterprises and heritage tourism; the parish is a conservation area with many listed buildings and an engaged community that hosts seasonal fetes, markets and village events.
