The village lies on a small north-south ridge; immediately to the east is the edge of a plateau, and there are rock outcrops of millstone grit along the northern part of the ridgeline; the outcrops have restricted the growth of the village east of the A520.

On the northern edge of the village is a public house The Powys Arms, and a petrol station.

Wetley Abbey, about half a mile south of the village, is a large building built in the early 19th century in Gothic style (it has no religious connections); it is now a care home.

[2][3] The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist was built in 1833–34; the architect was James Trubshaw.

It was built of locally quarried stone and has a slate roof; it has a west tower with a crenellated parapet.
