Great Notley and Black Notley sit just to the south of Braintree in Essex, England. The area contrasts a late‑20th‑century planned suburb centred on Great Notley Country Park with family housing, shops and light industry, alongside the older, rural village of Black Notley with its historic buildings and village green character.
Locally the community is a mix of commuters and long‑standing rural households, supported by schools, small businesses and village amenities; agriculture and business parks both play a part in the local economy. Good road and rail links make London and nearby towns readily accessible, while local events, pubs and green spaces give the area a fairly active, community‑minded feel.
