Description
The village is close to the town of Buckfastleigh and is situated just inside the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park.
The village consists largely of stone-built cottages, but there are also about 20 council houses, a farmhouse, and a popular inn, called The Tradesman's Arms. Faced with the closure of the inn in 2008, four regulars decided to buy the property and reopen it. The inn is still open as of November 2015.
Transportation
Bus line 672 of Country Bus Devon calls at The Tradesman's Arms twice every Thursday (except for public holidays): once at 10:11 towards Buckfastleigh, Ashburton, Seale, and Newton Abbot, and once at 14:15 towards Holne, Poundsgate, Ponsworthy, Widecombe, and Buckland-in-the-Moor.
Twinning
The village is twinned with the commune of Fontaine-Henry, Calvados, France.
