High Ongar is a small, characterful village and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of Essex, England, set amid rolling greenbelt farmland and copses. The settlement retains a rural feel, with period cottages, farmhouses and a medieval parish church forming a compact historic core, while lanes and hedgerows reflect its long agricultural heritage.
Historically centred on farming and smallholdings, High Ongar now combines local rural industry with a commuter population drawn to London and nearby market towns; there is a lively community life around the village hall, pubs and occasional fetes, and a local interest in conserving the landscape and listed buildings that give the place its distinct character.
