The village and civil parish of Chappel sits in the rural north of the Colchester district in Essex, England, straddling the valley of the River Colne. Rolling farmland, woodland and riverside meadows give it a distinctly rural character while still being within commuting distance of Colchester and the wider region.
Chappel is best known for the dramatic brick Chappel Viaduct and the preserved line and East Anglian Railway Museum at nearby Wakes Colne, which draw heritage-railway enthusiasts; those attractions, together with a historic parish church, village hall and a handful of local businesses, help sustain a lively community. Quiet lanes, riverside walks and traditional buildings make it a pleasant spot for walkers and visitors seeking Essex countryside rather than urban bustle.
