Convenient Location

Educational Facilities

The Priors Green Estate is home to Takeley Primary School, which relocated from Takeley in September 2012 to a brand-new school on Bennet Canfield. Rated "Good" in 2022 by Ofsted, Takeley Primary School provides education for children aged 4-11.

Flitch Way

The Flitch Way, a fifteen-mile greenway stretching from Braintree station to Start Hill near Bishop's Stortford, serves as an important wildlife corridor and recreational route. Named after the Flitch ceremony in Little Dunmow, where couples who could prove that they had not argued in marriage after a year and a day would be awarded a flitch (side) of bacon. Flitch Way provides a safe traffic-free environment for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders.
