The Pennine Way passes through the hamlet.

The place claims to have the longest name in England, closely followed by the neighbouring hamlet of Blakehopeburnhaugh.[1] The place is also spelt Cottonshopeburn Foot,[2] which would make Blakehopeburnhaugh the longest name, but the Ordnance Survey favours the single-word name.
