East Goscote is a modern village and civil parish in the Borough of Charnwood district of Leicestershire, England, just north of the market town of Syston.

According to English Heritage's reference work Dangerous Energy, it was operating Groups 8-10 of ROF filling types (High Explosives received, mixed, and put into bombs and warheads).

These were opened to the public as part of the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977, and there is a plaque near Long Furrow noting this fact.

What is less well known is the huge network of large reinforced concrete tunnels that lay beneath the whole village; where the munitions were fitted with their warheads, and new top secret weapons prototypes were put together.

The whole structure, and stories that lay beneath its present inhabitants is worthy of a serious study, survey, and television documentary.

The original design made no mention of the village hall, and this was built by Jelson Homes free of charge.

Adjacent to the village, north of the railway line, is Beedles Lake Golf Club.

East Goscote ward is represented on Charnwood Borough Council by Green Party Councillor Laurie Needham.
