The village is on a minor road west of Great Longstone, just off the B6465 road from Wardlow to Ashford-in-the-Water.[1] There is a Grade-II-listed Congregational Chapel[2] and a public house, the Packhorse Inn,[3] in the village. As in many small parishes, there is no parish council and local democracy is administered via a parish meeting.[4]
