The surrounding countryside is indeed very beautiful and unusual in having large tracts of unfenced land providing a huge variety of interesting walks. The area has excellent access to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, both within less than half an hour's drive. The village itself has retained many of the services lost in recent years by other rural communities and maintains a wonderfully strong community with regular events being held within the village. The village boasts a well-regarded Primary school, two churches, hotel, public house, post office, general store, a fortnightly farmers market and a specialist chocolate shop and café.
