About this attraction
About Goff's Oak
Goff's Oak is a small, dispersed rural settlement in the Broxbourne area of Hertfordshire, located on the historic route between London and the northern counties. The name derives from an ancient oak tree that once stood at a crossroads in the locality, serving as a landmark for travellers centuries ago. Today it remains a quiet, wooded area with a mix of residential properties and open countryside.
The settlement sits within the historic Lea Valley region and forms part of the wider Broxbourne and Waltham Cross area. Though not a destination in itself, Goff's Oak offers a sense of rural Hertfordshire and serves as a waypoint along regional transport routes and walking paths through the Lea Valley.
