Frating Green is a small, largely residential hamlet in the district of Tendring in rural Essex, England, forming part of the civil parish of Frating. It centres on a traditional village green and is ringed by arable fields and a mix of cottages and farmsteads, giving it a quiet, rural character that attracts both long‑standing farming families and commuters who travel to nearby towns such as Colchester.
The locality has historic roots going back several centuries, reflected in older farm buildings and parish architecture, and life in the hamlet tends to revolve around local community activities, the occasional village event and nearby pubs rather than major commercial facilities. Economically it remains dominated by agriculture and small local businesses, while socially it offers a peaceful base for those seeking the countryside within reach of larger urban centres.
