Tilty is a tiny, rural village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford in Essex, England, set among rolling farmland and narrow lanes a short distance from the market towns of Thaxted and Great Dunmow. The settlement retains a quiet, sparsely populated character with a scattering of historic houses, converted farm buildings and countryside footpaths that make it popular for walking and countryside visits rather than for everyday services.
Its most notable feature is the remains of a medieval abbey and the attractive parish church, which together give the village a striking historic atmosphere; these ruins draw interest from local history enthusiasts and visitors. The local economy is largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns, and the social life tends to revolve around the church, the rural community and occasional heritage events rather than retail or commercial hubs.
