Peldon is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Colchester, Essex, England. Set among farmland and salt marshes with views towards the Colne Estuary, it retains a compact village core of timber‑framed cottages, a medieval parish church and the kind of village pub and green that give it a strong local identity.
Historically the village is often recalled for its association with the 1884 Colchester earthquake, and many streets contain listed buildings and vernacular features. The local economy remains rooted in agriculture alongside a commuter population to nearby towns, while community life centres on the church, village hall and regular local events such as the annual fête.
