Great and Little Wigborough is a small, largely rural parish in the borough of Colchester, in the county of Essex, England. It comprises two closely linked villages set among arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, and retains a distinctly low‑density, agricultural character rather than a suburban one.
The settlements have medieval roots and show that history in their lanes, timber‑framed cottages and a historic parish church, while locally based farms and small businesses sit alongside residents who commute into Colchester for work. Social life tends to be village‑centred, with the kind of community events and conservation interests common to small Essex parishes.
