Little Easton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford, Essex, England, set amid gently rolling arable countryside a few miles west of Great Dunmow and within easy reach of Stansted Airport. The settlement is scattered rather than nucleated, with lanes, hedgerows and farmland defining the local landscape and giving a distinctly rural character despite good road links to nearby market towns.
Locally notable features include a small airfield, formerly used in wartime as RAF Little Easton and now hosting light aviation, together with country-house estates and walled gardens such as Easton Lodge, which reflect the area’s gentry history. The economy remains anchored in agriculture, equestrian activities and small rural businesses, while community life revolves around village amenities and occasional events tied to the historic houses and airfield.
