The village of Matching is on undulating land separated from the Stort valley by the parishes of Harlow and Sheering.
30 buildings are architecturally listed, all historic and dating to before the late 19th century.
Elevations range between 90 m above sea level and 49 m at Pincey Brook, the northern boundary with Sheering, which is a tributary of the Stort from Hatfield Broad Oak.
Matching is 22 miles (35 km) northeast of where London is measured from, Charing Cross.

Given the number of old buildings, three conservation areas shape the ongoing character and maintenance requirements of the three biggest settlements.
