Map of the UK

Hadstock is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford, Essex, in the east of England. Tucked close to the border with Cambridgeshire and a few miles from the market town of Saffron Walden, it sits amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes, popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet village lifestyle while commuting to nearby towns or Cambridge.

The settlement is centred on a compact historic core, with the medieval All Saints church retaining early stonework that gives a strong sense of longevity; several other listed buildings and the conservation area status underline its heritage. Community life is small-scale but active, with a village hall, local gatherings and rural traditions, while the local economy remains rooted in agriculture alongside a handful of small businesses and commuter households.
