With a resident population of 1879 (2011 Census), the Village lies between Richmond and the A1 trunk road giving excellent transport links recognised by the many companies that have set up their businesses in the new industrial estates. The Village has expanded in recent years with a number of new housing developments but still retains its traditional centre and character.

There are a number of pleasant walks around the Village and along the riverside with opportunities for picnics and fishing. The Village also boasts an excellent Sports field and sports hall, a number of very good Inns serving food, together with a busy general store and Post Office.

Come along and enjoy.
