Hadstock is a village in Essex, sitting 6 miles from Saffron Walden, close by the county boundary with Cambridgeshire and about 9 miles from Cambridge. The 2001 recorded a parish population of 320.
On the outskirts of the village is a disused airfield, laid out on the flattened top of a hill. It was used in Second World War. While the official name for the airfield became RAF Little Walden, it was originally named after the village of Hadstock.
