Sheering is a small, mainly rural parish in the Epping Forest district of Essex, sitting close to the border with Hertfordshire. The parish lies beside the valley of the River Stort and is sandwiched between larger towns such as Harlow and Sawbridgeworth, giving it a quietly village feel while remaining within commuting reach of London by nearby rail links.
Its character is defined by farmland, hedgerows and a historic village core with several older, listed buildings and a parish church, and local life tends to revolve around the village hall, pub and community events. Economically the area mixes agriculture and small local businesses with a sizeable commuter presence, and recreational uses such as equestrianism and countryside walks are popular.
