About

Halstead East & Colnes encompasses a largely rural part of the Braintree district, characterised by open farmland and scattered villages. The area includes the historic market town of Halstead itself, situated on the Colne Valley ridge, alongside smaller settlements like the Colnes and Greenstead Green.

A notable network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the area, connecting the communities. The Colne Valley Railway, a heritage line running steam and diesel trains between Castle Hedingham and Yeldham, operates on part of this route. Agriculture remains a visible presence, with arable fields and some smaller farmsteads shaping the surrounding countryside.
