The substation, which helps to control the flow of electricity to the national grid, is located on the Essex, Hertfordshire County border, 8 miles from Bishops Stortford with easy access to the A10 and M11.

It is also part of the network of Hertfordshire Outdoors and Essex Outdoors centres. The teachers who work at the Daws Hall Centre also operate at Pelham.
