Doddinghurst is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Brentwood, Essex, England, lying a few miles north of Brentwood town and within easy reach of London. It has a notably rural character centred on a large village green and common, with surrounding farmland and small woodlands and a parish church that hints at its long-standing agricultural origins.
Today Doddinghurst is largely residential, home to commuters as well as local trades and nurseries, and keeps a lively village life with a hall, clubs, pubs and annual fêtes. Good road and rail links via nearby stations make trips into London straightforward, while small businesses and community groups maintain a strong local identity.
