Broomfield and The Walthams sit on the northern fringe of Chelmsford in Essex, a pleasant mix of village lanes, farmland and hedgerow country with views across the River Chelmer valley. The area blends the semi‑rural character of the neighbouring parishes of Great Waltham and Little Waltham with easy access to the shops and services of Chelmsford, making it popular with families and commuters.
Locally there are historic parish churches, timber‑framed cottages and a strong village‑hall and pub culture, while Broomfield also hosts a major hospital that is an important employer for the locality. Good road and rail links into central Chelmsford and on towards London support a mixed economy of agriculture, small businesses and commuter households, and community events and clubs keep village life lively.
