The village contains a pub, a shop which opens on Wednesdays to sell the local newspapers, and little else.^{[citation needed]} Also located here is the Colclough Memorial Hall, which is used for community activities, including card playing among the village's older residents.^{[citation needed]} It is named after the Colclough family who once lived at nearby Tintern Abbey. The Colcloughs first arrived at the former Abbey in the 16th century and left in 1959. Saltmills itself was established in 1814 by Caesar Colclough to replace the old village at Tintern Abbey which was then demolished.
