Boreham is a pleasant village and civil parish on the northern edge of Chelmsford in Essex, England, sitting among rolling farmland and lanes with views towards the River Chelmer valley. It’s well placed for road links and commuting to London, yet retains a distinctly rural feel with hedgerows, orchards and pockets of modern housing at the village edges.
The village has a strong sense of history and community: notable buildings such as Boreham House and the parish St Andrew's Church sit alongside the historic New Hall estate (now an independent school). The former airfield at RAF Boreham reminds visitors of its wartime past and today the outskirts host light industry and rural enterprises, while village pubs, a primary school and local clubs keep the social life lively.
