Situated almost equidistant from Dartmoor and Exmoor, the village has earned the nickname the Gateway to the Two Moors Way.

The village is home to two shops, a pub, restaurant and a cafe. There is also the home to Mid Devon Medical Practice. The parish church of St John the Baptist is a Gothic-style church, built circa 1500, and restored in 1841 and 1884. Its carved stone pulpit is one of just 70 medieval similar pulpits in England. The village is twinned with Cambremer in Normandy, France, and the two villages have annual exchange trips (although not solely for students).
