Hatfield Broad Oak is a small historic village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford, Essex, in eastern England. It has deep medieval roots - once a royal manor with a large parish and a name that recalls a notable oak - and retains a handsome medieval church and several timber‑framed houses. The village sits close to the ancient royal hunting ground of Hatfield Forest, a much‑visited surviving example of woodland and wood‑pasture that draws walkers and naturalists from the surrounding area.
Today Hatfield Broad Oak is a quiet rural community with farming, a few local businesses and village amenities, and a largely commuter‑and locality‑oriented population who also use nearby market towns such as Saffron Walden and Bishop's Stortford. Its combination of historic character, woodland access and links into the surrounding countryside makes it attractive to people seeking a picturesque Essex village rather than a busy urban centre.
