[1] The village has a Congregational Church, ground for polo, Michelin star chef-run restaurant, and public house.

Remains of what is believed to be a Roman temple have been discovered on the north side of the village at High Wood.

The heath had four gates leading onto it, one each at the Bottle & Glass, the New Inn, The Coach and Horses and Coppid Cross Roads.

[6] The village has revived the tradition of the annual 'wheelbarrow race', which used to run in the seventies and eighties between the Bottle and Glass Inn on Bones Lane and the White Hart at Shiplake Row (now Orwells restaurant), a distance of 1.2 miles.

Both would down a pint of beer at the start before charging down Common Lane towards Arch Hill and the village stores; when they reached the halfway point at the New Inn (since closed), they would down another beer before swapping roles and making for the finish at the White Hart where a final pint awaited them.

[8] The village has for the past 70 years held a Dog and Flower show which takes place on the field opposite Holmwood House Binfield Heath has an almost continuous street of Victorian houses, Shiplake Row, which leads 1⁄2 mile (800 m) and descends 25 metres to the larger village of Shiplake by the River Thames.

Holmwood, an 18th-century country house, is located on Shiplake Row in Binfield Heath, set over 26.6 acres of grounds.
