A little about the village
Gordon is a quiet place with a strong sense of community, the kind of village where neighbours know one another, local events bring people together, and the landscape changes slowly with the seasons. Beyond the last houses the fields run out towards the Eildon Hills away to the south.
Things to do
There are marked walks through the community woodland, an all-weather MUGA and a full-size sports field that anyone can book, Fitness Pilates and Zumba classes in the hall, and Coffee Craft & Chat once a month in The Gordon Arms.
Finding your way around
The menu at the top of every page leads to the rest of the site, and This Week shows what is coming up in the hall and on the field. If something here is missing or out of date, please get in touch, this site is kept up by volunteers and we are always glad to be told.
