Welcome to Gore Pit

Gore Pit is a small village located in the county of Essex, England. The village is situated near the town of Harlow and is known for its beautiful countryside and peaceful surroundings. The village is home to a small community of residents who enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions of Gore Pit is its proximity to Epping Forest, a large area of ancient woodland that is popular with walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. The forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds of prey. Visitors to the forest can enjoy a range of activities, including hiking, cycling, and horse riding.

Despite its rural location, Gore Pit is well-connected to the rest of Essex and London. The village is located just a short drive from the M11 motorway, which provides easy access to London and other major cities in the south-east of England. The village is also served by a number of local bus routes, making it easy to travel to nearby towns and villages.
