Bayston Hill is nearby, though there is no direct vehicular road connecting the two villages, only a track.

It was formerly a stop on the now defunct Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway.

The hamlet of Redhill adjoins the village, on the north side of the Rea Brook.

[1] Until 2014, the Mucky Duck (formerly Cygnets) also served as a public house in the village.
