Location and amenitiesGorsley is {{convert|4.7|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Newent,[6] {{convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Ross-on-Wye[7] and about {{convert|19|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Ledbury.[8] The village is near junction 3 of the M50, one of the first motorways built in Britain in 1960. The slip roads on the junction end in right angled turns which often surprise motorists used to the more gradual, modern junction designs. The Anglican church parish is combined with Cliffords Mesne.[9][10] A stone Baptist chapel opened in 1852.[11] Gorsley limestone is named for the area.[12] Stone from area quarries were used to build Victorian era buildings.[13] Victorian maps show a number of quarries and lime kilns in the area. The village pub is The Roadmaker, originally named The New Inn. It is owned and run by four ex-British Army Ghurka soldiers.[14][15] GalleryReferences1. ^ tags -->| area_footnotes = | area_urban_footnotes = |
