Little Waltham is a village and civil parish in the Chelmsford district of Essex, about four miles north of Chelmsford city centre in England. It retains a distinctly rural character, with a historic parish church, timber‑framed and brick cottages, hedgerowed lanes and surrounding farmland that reflect its long village history and agricultural roots.
Community life revolves around a village hall, local pub and primary school, with regular events and a strong sense of neighbourliness; many residents commute into Chelmsford and London while others work locally in agriculture or small businesses. The combination of historic buildings, countryside setting and easy access to urban amenities makes Little Waltham popular with people seeking a village lifestyle within reach of bigger centres.
