Lying just a few miles northeast of Chelmsford, Boreham is a village that manages to retain a distinct sense of identity despite its proximity to the city and the A12. The village is linear in layout, stretching along the old Roman road, and is perhaps best known for the striking avenue of trees leading to New Hall School - originally a palace built by Henry VIII. Practically speaking, it’s a well-connected spot; the nearby Boreham Interchange provides easy road access, and the village is close enough to Chelmsford’s mainline station for a straightforward commute to London Liverpool Street. Life here tends to centre around the historic St Andrew’s Church and the local parade of shops, though many residents also make use of the various public footpaths that cut through the surrounding Essex farmland towards the River Chelmer. While it has seen modern development over the years, Boreham still feels rooted in its rural past, offering a quieter pace of life without sacrificing the convenience of nearby urban amenities.
