There are many walks around the village including the Stour Valley Way, which follows the Stour right from the source to the sea.
The village has three pubs: the Red Lion and the Churchill Arms actually within the village, and the Black Horse on the outskirts.
The village has a thriving football club, with two senior sides and several youth teams.

Famous quotes containing the word village:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
