Why move to Great Dunmow?
Great Dunmow (meaning ‘Meadow on the Hill’) is a historic market town in the Uttlesford district of Essex and lies on the River Chelmer.
The second Halifax Rural Areas Quality of Life Survey ranked the Uttlesford District as the 4th best place to live in the UK out of 114 rural authority areas surveyed.
This long-standing market town is steeped in history and sharp on individuality with a high street full of great independent shops and businesses.
The town has a fantastic mix of rural charm and character with many old buildings which have survived from the medieval period, including the sixteenth-century town hall which is now a Grade II listed building.
The town is probably best known for the Flitch Trials, which take place every four years.
This ancient tradition has been upheld for hundreds of years. Couples have to convince a jury they have not argued during the last year and if they succeed, they win a flitch of bacon.
Great Dunmow benefits from excellent transport links including railway connections to London Liverpool Street.
The district is just an hour’s drive from London and under the flight path of Stansted airport.
