Blackmore is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Brentwood, Essex, England. It sits amid gently rolling countryside and retains a compact historic core of older cottages, a village green and a parish church, giving it a distinctly rural, conservation‑area character despite proximity to larger towns.
Historically agricultural, the village today has a mix of long‑standing local households and commuters - many travel into London or nearby employment centres - while small farms and local enterprises still shape the area. Community life tends to revolve around the pub, clubs and seasonal events, and the lanes and surrounding greenbelt make Blackmore popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quieter base within easy reach of the capital.
