In the village there is a rich mixture of properties, the noted Swan Inn is a handsome building which first opened its doors as a coaching inn of Victorian times. The inn is full of charm and atmosphere, it still has many original features including old beams, but offers every modern comfort to today's weary traveller.

Visitors to the village should abandon the car and explore on foot, a short walk away is Grovely Woods, here you can find peaceful shaded picnic spots, lovely walks, and for the energetic there are excellent cycle trails.
