Hunsdon is a small rural parish in the district of East Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England, sitting close to the Hertfordshire–Essex border and within easy reach of Harlow and Bishop's Stortford. The village occupies rolling agricultural countryside and parkland, with the River Stort and other characteristic hedged fields nearby giving the area a distinctly rural feel.
Locally it is noted for the Tudor manor Hunsdon House with its Elizabethan connections and for Hunsdon Airfield, which has a wartime history and today serves light aviation; the economy remains largely agricultural with a significant number of residents commuting to nearby towns or London. The parish retains a strong village community around its church, village hall and annual events, reflecting a mix of historic interest and contemporary rural life.
