Hatfield Heath

About

Hatfield Heath ward encompasses a primarily rural landscape within Uttlesford, characterised by agricultural fields and scattered woodland. The settlement of Hatfield Heath itself forms the central focus, a linear village stretching along its main road with a mix of residential properties. The area is bounded by the River Stort to the west, which defines its border and influences the low-lying pastureland in that vicinity.

The local economy has historical ties to farming, though many residents now commute to larger towns. The parish church of St Mary the Virgin, with elements dating to the 14th century, stands at the village's heart. A notable network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the ward, connecting the village to the surrounding countryside and the Stort Valley, providing access to the river's towpath.
