There’s a well‑known Grovesend in south Wales near Swansea, but if you mean a hamlet called Grovesend in South Gloucestershire, it would typically be a small, rural settlement on the fringe of the Bristol commuter belt. Such places are often set among farmland and rolling countryside with a mix of historic farmhouses and later commuter housing, and they tend to look to nearby towns for shops, schools and services.
Geographically these settlements sit close enough to Bristol and the edge of the Cotswolds to feel both rural and well connected, so local life is often shaped by agriculture, countryside recreation and commuting. Community activity is usually centred on a village hall or nearby parish, and any historic interest is likely to be local – old farm buildings, lanes and hedgerows rather than major tourist attractions. If you meant the Swansea one, say and I’ll give details specific to that village.
