Amenities and history
The parish church is St Cadoc's and both the village and the church have a long and interesting history sandwiched as they are in the Welsh Marches between border castles and the historical personalities holding sway at any given time.[1]
The Cistercian Way long distance footpath that circumnavigates all of Wales also passes through the village.
