The Grantham to Skegness Line passes close to the north of the village, running alongside the A153 and crosses the road at a level crossing close to the east. The A153 used to go through the village along Main Street.
The parish church is dedicated to St Mary. The village pub is the Plough Inn on Main Street. There is a deserted medieval village to the west of the village towards Ancaster.
