Ugley is a small rural village and civil parish in Uttlesford, Essex, in the east of England. It sits among farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland and includes the nearby hamlet of Ugley Green, giving it a quiet, village feel with a scattering of cottages and a modest village green.
The name is of Old English origin, thought to mean 'Ugga's clearing', and the area still shows historic character in its parish church, timber-framed houses and a country house known locally as Ugley Hall. Local life remains rooted in agriculture and small businesses, but proximity to larger market towns and transport links - including Stansted Airport and routes into London - means it also attracts commuters, blending traditional village rhythms with modern connections.
