Kelvedon Hatch is a small, mainly rural parish in the borough of Brentwood, Essex, England, set among rolling farmland and woodland on higher ground with long views across the county. The area combines scattered hamlets, a village green, a parish church and a handful of local amenities, while being within comfortable commuting distance of London, which shapes its mix of traditional agriculture and residents who work in the capital.
Its most striking feature is the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker, a Cold War control centre now run as a museum that gives the village a quirky national profile; the historic St Nicholas Church, village pubs, a hall and active community groups keep a lively local scene with fetes, conservation projects and a strong sense of identity.
