Map of the UK

Hatfield Heath is a rural ward in the district of Uttlesford, northwest Essex, England, centred on the village and the surrounding commons and farmland. The area has a spacious village green and stretches of heath and arable land, sitting within comfortable commuting distance of London and nearby market towns such as Bishop's Stortford and Saffron Walden, which influences its mix of long‑standing agricultural activity and residential commuters.

Locally the community retains a village feel with a pub, village hall and amateur sports clubs, and a number of period cottages and farmsteads give a strong historic character dating back to its common‑land origins. Economic life still centres on agriculture and small local businesses, while village events and volunteer groups help maintain a close social fabric typical of Essex rural parishes.
