Ramsden Heath is a small, semi-rural village near Chelmsford in Essex, England. Sitting on open heath and farmland between the towns of Billericay and Wickford, it retains a village feel with scattered cottages, farmhouses and pockets of later housing rather than a dense centre.
Historically a heathland and agricultural settlement, the community now mixes quiet residential life with a handful of local shops, pubs and a village hall, and attracts walkers keen on the surrounding countryside. Many residents commute to London or nearby towns via regular rail services from adjacent stations, and the greenbelt setting gives Ramsden Heath a strong local identity amid development pressures in the wider Chelmsford and Essex area.
