Great Braxted is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Maldon, Essex, England. Set in rolling farmland, it keeps a quiet village character a short drive from nearby market towns; lanes, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads mark the local landscape and give it a distinctly countryside feel.
The parish is noted for its country estate, Great Braxted Park, with landscaped parkland and a sizeable house that now plays a role in local life as an events venue, while agriculture still shapes the economy. Socially the community is small and village-centred, with a historic feel evident in the estate and church buildings and local activities often tied to the countryside and seasonal events.
