Barling is a village in eastern Essex, four miles north-east of Southend-on-Sea and 18 miles south-east of the county town, Chelmsford.
The origin of the name "Barling" is uncertain: some think it is from the Old English bar, meaning 'boar', or gebur meaning 'farm'.
Barling is by Barlinghall Creek, a tributary of the River Roach. In its agricultural setting, Barling village is mainly situated along Little Wakering Road, Church Road and Barling Road. Where these roads meet is the village duck pond.
