The cluster of villages around Littlebury, Chesterford and Wenden Lofts sits on the rural edge of Uttlesford in Essex, close to the market town of Saffron Walden. It’s a patchwork of rolling farmland, hedgerows and small hamlets with a long history - Chesterford in particular has Romano-British and medieval roots beside the River Cam - and a number of attractive listed buildings and conservation areas give the places a strongly historic, village feel.
Despite the countryside setting the area benefits from good commuter links into Cambridge and London, making it popular with people who work in the cities but prefer village life; agriculture and small local businesses remain important economically. Community life is typical of rural Essex, centred on village halls, churches, pubs and seasonal fêtes, while the surrounding lanes and footpaths are popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the quieter landscapes of northwest Essex.
