Offwell is a small village with a primary school and a post office. The village sits next to the Offwell woodland, which has its own wildlife trust.

The medieval church of St Mary has a chancel arch, one chancel window and a south doorway which date from c. 1200. There are a west tower, a north aisle and a north chapel. Features of interest include the early 18th-century pulpit and reader's desk, the Lord's prayer and creed mural painting, and some Jacobean carvings.

Offwell House, built in 1830, was the residence of Bishop Copleston.
