Harlequin, a small mainly residential area, lies between it and Radcliffe, which is mainly on the northern side of the major, east-west, A52 trunk road.

At its western end it the Radcliffe Road runs along the north-eastern edge of Trent Bridge cricket ground.

The village is served by the Trentbarton bus company, which runs daily services to Nottingham – once every 10 minutes on weekdays.

There is an amateur dramatics group which stages regular productions at the Grange Hall, as well as numerous other clubs and associations.

Professional footballer Ian Woan (born 1967) lived near Radcliffe while playing for Nottingham Forest F.C.
