Rettendon straddles the A130 between Chelmsford and Rayleigh. The old village sits to the east with a church, a common, and scattered farms. The newer part runs along the main road. Right on the A130, residents can reach Chelmsford in 15 minutes and the A127 in 10, and dogs who were once bouncing around the fields can slow down gradually enough that owners do not notice until the problem is advanced. Sage, a Lurcher, broke her pelvis after being hit by a car and her therapist guided her recovery from the first tentative pool session to running in the fields again. Early intervention made a significant difference to Sage's long-term prognosis.
