Broxted is a small rural parish in the district of Uttlesford in Essex, England. It sits in gently rolling arable countryside typical of north‑west Essex, with narrow lanes, hedgerows and scattered farms and cottages; the historic town of Thaxted and the market towns of Saffron Walden and Bishop's Stortford are all within easy reach.
The community is quiet and largely agricultural in character, with a handful of listed buildings and a village church that hint at medieval roots. Local life is community‑minded, centred on occasional events, village‑hall activities and country pursuits, while many residents commute to nearby towns; the area is popular with walkers and those seeking traditional Essex village character.
