Danbury is a hilltop village and civil parish in the district of Chelmsford in Essex, England. Set among woodlands, commons and a country park - notably Danbury Common and Danbury Country Park - it offers pleasant walking trails and fine views across the surrounding Essex countryside.
The village keeps a historic feel with a medieval parish church, timber‑framed houses and a handful of traditional pubs, while its economy mixes local shops and agriculture with a substantial commuter community who travel to Chelmsford or London. Community events and conservation of the heathland and woods are an important part of village life.
