20 min walk/2 min drive. Described as one of the most beautiful village in the country! We are so fortunate to live in this peaceful, unspoilt little village. Sheep and lambs roam free all year round. A quaint old bus shelter for its community centre with honesty boxes selling things like home grown fruit and veg, eggs, home made cards and a book swap. Picnic benches all along the beautiful riverside.
