Start Hill is a small hamlet in the district of Uttlesford, Essex, England, located alongside the A120 between Great Dunmow and Stansted Mountfitchet. Its position near Stansted Airport and main road links places it squarely in the commuter and logistics belt north‑east of London, so transport and roadside services feature more than you might expect for such a modest settlement.
The feel of the place is quietly rural, with surrounding arable farmland and a scattering of homes and small businesses that serve passing traffic and local needs; residents commonly rely on nearby market towns or Bishop's Stortford for shops and services. Historically it has grown up around coaching and main road routes, and today that transport heritage shapes its economy and social life more than any distinct civic centre or cultural institutions.
