Wakes Colne is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Colchester, Essex, England, set beside the winding River Colne. It sits close to the neighbouring village of Chappel and is valued for its riverside setting, rolling farmland and network of local footpaths that make it a quiet rural base not far from the town of Colchester.
The area retains a distinctly rural and historic feel, with older cottages and a parish church at its heart, and residents often combine local agricultural and community life with commuting to nearby towns. A notable landmark just across the valley is the impressive Chappel Viaduct, with a preserved railway heritage nearby, which together add character and attract walkers and railway enthusiasts to the Colne valley.
