WELCOME TO FELSTED
Located in north-west Essex and with a population of around 3,000, the Parish of Felsted has at its heart the historic village of Felsted, surrounded by Greens and Hamlets, in a beautiful rural setting.
Felsted retains the underlying charm and attraction of a rural parish, with the community and village at its heart. This is what attracts people to the area and what we as the Parish Council see as our historic duty to protect. Preservation of our heritage is balanced with a duty to ensure that the Parish thrives and meets the future needs of our community.
Winner of RCCE Village of the Year 2015

Felsted Nature Area Car Parking
Felsted nature area which covers approximately 33 acres of land, incorporating the officially designated “Felsted Fen Local Wildlife Site (reference UFD276)” situated adjacent to the River Chelmer and located off Station Road, is open to any resident for their enjoyment and they are encouraged to make use of this open space whilst respecting the tranquillity and abundance of flora and fauna.
Dog walking is acceptable providing dogs are kept under control, particularly during the ground bird nesting season. There are a number of Public Rights of Way and permissive footpaths that cross the nature area. However, being located at the extreme western part of the parish, for many within our large parish it is not necessarily easily to reach on foot.
For those wishing to visit the nature area by car Flitch Green Parish Council has confirmed that it is perfectly acceptable for Felsted residents to use the car park in Tanton Road. This is off of Hallett Road and is the car park immediately on your left as you enter Flitch Green that the food vendor vehicles use. It is then just a short walk via optional footpaths to the bridge which takes you over Stebbing Brook and into the nature area.
