Nounsley is a hamlet in the parish of the larger Essex village of Hatfield Peverel to which it is connected by a hill and footpaths. In the very hard winter of 1961/62, snow on Nounsley Hill cut the village off to wheeled traffic for 3 days.

There is one public house, The Sportsman's Arms and a ford across the River Ter.
