The picturesque half-timbered 12th-century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Andrew and is a Grade I listed building.
The local pub, the "Bunch of Carrots", is located in the centre of the village, on the B4224 road, next to a meander in the River Wye. The name is said to be derived from a curiously shaped rock formation on the river, visible when the water level is low.
A pair of European bee-eaters made a nesting attempt here in 2005 (see Bee-eaters in Britain).
