It sits in the characteristic East Anglia landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and pocket woodlands, with quiet lanes, scattered farmsteads and public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The area has a long agricultural history reflected in historic cottages, farm buildings and a traditional village nucleus; the local economy remains largely tied to farming with some residents commuting to nearby market towns.
