This small rural village is situated just outside the well-regarded popular market town of Clare, which is situated on the River Stour close to the Essex/Suffolk borders. Famous for its antique shops, Clare is extremely well served with excellent everyday shopping facilities, a fine parish church, two schools, two hotels, several pub/restaurants, post office and two doctor’s surgeries. The nearby centres of Sudbury, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds provide a wider range of educational, recreational and cultural facilities.

There is access to the main road network via the A14, A11 and M11 just south of Cambridge providing routes to the capital and Stansted Airport. For the rail commuter there is access to mainline services from Sudbury or Audley End, which provide a fast and regular service to London.
