Mount Bures is a small village and civil parish in the district of Colchester, Essex, in the east of England, sitting close to the Suffolk border and alongside the twin settlement of Bures by the River Stour. It occupies gentle agricultural countryside and is linked by narrow lanes and footpaths to neighbouring villages, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet rural base not far from larger towns.
The village is best known for the prominent earthwork that gives it its name - the remains of a medieval motte - and for a long continuity of rural life; farming still shapes the local economy while many residents commute to Colchester or beyond. A small, community-minded population supports local events and groups, and the area attracts interest from historians and archaeologists because of its medieval and earlier landscapes.
