Gorsley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gorsley is an area in the southwest Midlands of England, on the border between Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
Gorsley itself is in Gloucestershire but nearby Gorsley Common and Little Gorsley are in Herefordshire.
Gorsley is 7 km (4 miles) west of Newent, 11 km (7 miles) east of Ross-on-Wye and 21 km (13 miles) south of Ledbury.
The villages are near junction 3 of the M50, one of the first motorways built in Britain. The slip roads on the junction end in right angled turns which often surprise motorists used to the more gradual, modern junction designs.
Victorian maps show a number of quarries and lime kilns in the area.
