At the southern boundary of the village is a crossroads leading to Great Casterton about three miles (5 km) to the south, the A1 road at Tickencote Warren to the west, Lincolnshire Gate and Castle Bytham to the north and an unmaintained track to Ryhall Heath to the east.

About two miles (3 km) south-east is Walk Farm, formerly known as Walkherd Lodge, which was the home of Martha "Patty" Turner, who became John Clare's wife.

Both the lime kiln and Walk Farm featured in a television documentary that was made about the poet in the late 1960s.

About two miles (3 km) to the west of the village is the site of the Battle of Losecote Field in 1470.
