Popular village with pubs, cafes and a good base to explore adjoining Wolfescote Dale. Parking can be difficult at certain times like Bank Holidays. Tip- in Summer months if you’ve not woken up to get there early, try after 4pm when visitors start to leave. There’s still plenty of time for an evening stroll and a pint.
