Village amenities include a primary school, general store with sub post office, church, dental surgery, garage, pub and cricket club. There is also an extremely popular annual scare crow festival which generates huge funds for the various village clubs/societies. The busy market town of Devizes is only 5 miles distant and the major centres of Bath, Salisbury and Swindon are all within commuting distance. A mainline railway station can be found in nearby Pewsey (10 miles).
