The village is situated close to the A419, between Brimscombe, Eastcombe and Chalford Hill, and near the River Frome.

This church was founded by Thomas Keble (after whom the local secondary school was renamed) and was consecrated in October 1846.

There is also a small shopping centre which consists of a Tesco Express, a Boots pharmacy, Chinese takeaway and a doctor's surgery.

This wood, owned by Robert Hitchens Ltd., was subject to an attempt to be registered as a Town or Village Green in 2005.

[6] Frithwood mentioned above is not to be confused with the Frith Wood Nature Reserve,[7] located just outside Painswick in Gloucestershire.
