The Hoppet Barn is about six miles due east of the city of Chelmsford, which provides an excellent choice of facilities including a bustling shopping centre, and Bond Street (consisting of John Lewis and a selection of restaurants), two grammar schools (KEGS and CCHS), as well as a railway station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access onto the A12.

The area is crossed with footpaths and bridleways linking the National Trust woodland and heathlands, within the surrounding countryside.
