Hunsdon is a small village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, lying close to the county border with Essex and within easy reach of Harlow and Bishop's Stortford. It sits in a gently rolling agricultural landscape of fields and hedgerows, so feels distinctly rural despite being within commuting distance of London.
The village is notable for its historic links - most famously the Tudor manor Hunsdon House, associated with the Carey family and the Elizabethan period - and for the wartime airfield RAF Hunsdon, traces of which are still visible and remembered locally. Today Hunsdon combines period cottages, a parish church and a village community that organises local events, while the local economy mixes farming with commuter and small‑business households.
