Cold Norton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Maldon, Essex, England, sitting on the edge of the Dengie peninsula and overlooking the salt marshes of the River Crouch estuary. The setting is distinctly rural, with arable farmland, coastal marshes and wide estuary views that make it popular with birdwatchers and people seeking a quieter pace of life away from the busier coastal towns.
Historically it retains a number of older buildings and a village core that reflects its long agricultural past, while today the local economy mixes farming with small businesses and a significant number of residents who commute to Chelmsford, Southend or London. Community life is village-centred, with local events and groups sustaining a social scene typical of Essex villages rather than a tourist hotspot.
