It is approximately 2 miles north of the larger village of Ruyton-XI-Towns, and is recognised as one of the "XI" towns.
In the centre of the village one can find the rare sight of a 19th-century red postbox and red telephone box, which amount to its only facilities.
The main office of Quiller Publishing , the UK's largest Country Sports publisher, is also located here.
