About

Hedingham ward is located in the northeastern part of the Braintree district. The area is primarily defined by the two communities of Sible Hedingham and Castle Hedingham, which are separated by the River Colne. The landscape is characterised by a mix of residential development and surrounding agricultural land. The ward functions as a local service centre for its population, with facilities centred along the main roads connecting the settlements.

The historic core of Castle Hedingham is dominated by its Norman keep, a prominent stone fortress that overlooks the village. This structure is a significant local landmark and represents the area's medieval origins. The local economy includes a blend of small independent businesses, light industry, and commuting links to larger towns. The River Colne and its associated water meadows provide a distinct green corridor through the ward.
