Its quiet lanes, river meadows and attractive riverside views make it popular with walkers and anglers, while its proximity to Hay-on-Wye places it close to one of the region’s cultural hubs.
Historically a farming community with medieval roots, the village retains a handful of stone houses and a parish church and remains largely agricultural in character, supplemented by a few holiday lets and B&Bs for visitors.
