Galleywood is a village and civil parish about three miles south‑east of Chelmsford in Essex, England. It sits amid undulating farmland and features Galleywood Common, a broad stretch of heath and pockets of ancient woodland that are popular with walkers, dog‑owners and local wildlife.
Once a distinctly rural settlement with 18th‑ and 19th‑century cottages and farm buildings, Galleywood today combines a strong village community - shops, pubs, a primary school and active clubs - with commuter links into Chelmsford and on towards London, so it retains a village feel while being close to bigger‑town amenities.
