Little Dunmow is a village situated in rural
Essex, England, in the vale of the
River Chelmer about east-southeast of the town of
Great Dunmow. It can be reached from the Dunmow South exit of the A120 by following the road towards
Braintree (B1256) for 3.2 km before turning right for the village. The centre of the old village, which has just 99 dwellings, is a further 0.6 km along the road. The Flitch Way, a linear country park along the route of the old
Braintree to Bishop's Stortford railway, links Little Dunmow and the new settlement of
Flitch Green. The new village, built on the site of a former
sugar beet factory, is a self-contained community of 850 dwellings and is another kilometre along the road towards
Felsted.
