Ugley Green is a small rural village in the district of Uttlesford, in the county of Essex in eastern England. Set among hedgerow-lined lanes and arable fields, it sits a short drive from Saffron Walden and Bishop's Stortford and remains within commuting distance of London, giving it a mix of agricultural character and commuter households.
With medieval roots (the name is thought to come from an Old English personal name) the village retains a traditional green, timber-framed cottages and a small parish atmosphere; there are a number of historic buildings and local community events that sustain a close-knit, conservation-minded social life while agriculture and nearby towns supply most employment and services.
