Nazeing is a village and civil parish in the district of Epping Forest, in Essex, England, sitting in the Lea Valley on the edge of low-lying farmland and former gravel pits. The landscape is notable for a scattering of lakes and reedbeds - left by past extraction - that now support angling, water-based leisure and a good variety of wildlife, giving it a more rural feel despite proximity to larger towns such as Harlow.
Historically agricultural, with a past shaped by brickworks and gravel workings, Nazeing today mixes small-scale industry and local businesses with a commuter element to London and nearby towns. Community life centres on the village hall, parish church and traditional pubs, while the lakes, country lanes and nature patches make it popular with walkers, anglers and wildlife enthusiasts.
