Once a thriving industrial place, featuring a slaughterhouse, tannery, milling, quarrying and coal-mining, it has lost almost all of its original employers. Having been taken into the care of the Avon Wildlife Trust it has been developed as a peaceful wooded valley and is home to many species of plants, insects and animals - including several rare examples. It is part of the Forest of Avon and visitors can see the sculpture trail and look around the restored mill.
