Boxted is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Colchester, Essex, England. Set among arable farmland and pockets of woodland, it lies a short drive from the town of Colchester and retains the narrow lanes, timber‑framed cottages and quiet lanes typical of north‑east Essex villages.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the parish contains several older buildings and a parish church that reflect its long village heritage; socially it supports an active community life around a village hall and local events. Economically the area remains largely farming‑based with a significant proportion of residents commuting to nearby towns, and its well‑preserved character makes Boxted valued by locals and visitors seeking a traditional village atmosphere.
