Welcome to High Laver

High Laver is a small village located in the county of Essex, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles to the north of the town of Epping and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic church, St. Mary's, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in the country.

The village of High Laver has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has been inhabited continuously ever since. In the 16th century, the village was home to the famous theologian and scholar, John Wycliffe, who is credited with translating the Bible into English. Today, High Laver is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a primary school.

High Laver is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and horse riding. The village is located close to the Epping Forest, which is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The forest is home to a wide range of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds of prey. High Laver is also within easy reach of the city of London, making it an ideal location for those who want to enjoy the peace and tranquility of village life while still being close to the amenities of the city.

Local Dog Walks

Pishiobury Park
This Is A Lovely Walk, It's Very Open Although There Are Some Wooded Areas. I Have Never Seen It Crowded Even On A Warm Summer Sunday. Some Of It Is Cow Field So For Those Parts It's Best To Have Your Dog On A Lead Although There Are No Signs Up Urging You To Do This. If You Want To Walk Further You Can Follow The River Stort For Miles, (A Number Of Pubs On Route). Within The Actual Park There Are Some Rolling Hills So I'm Not Sure About Wheel Chair Access. There Is A Railway Track Which Is Not Fenced Off Across The River And Along The Far Edge Of The Park, But You Don't Really Have To Go Anywhere Near This. Bonks Hill Lancashire 4.57 miles Just Outside Harlow, Essex, Heading North.
