About

Orsett, Bulphan and Horndon-on-the-Hill form a cluster of historic villages on the northern edge of Thurrock, set within the flat, agricultural landscape of southern Essex. The area is defined by its open farmland and pockets of woodland, with the arterial A13 and railway lines marking its southern boundary. These settlements have largely retained their separate, quiet characters despite the proximity to major logistics and industrial developments to the south.

Horndon-on-the-Hill is a designated conservation area, its steep main street lined with timber-framed buildings leading to the medieval church of St Peter and St Paul. The annual Horndon Feast and Market traces its origins to a charter from 1253. Orsett is centred around its distinctive green, complete with a pond and a Gothic revival church spire, while Bulphan's open fenland surroundings feel notably remote, with its church isolated amidst fields.
