The Yew is of special interest and is believed to be Britains oldest tree at 5,600 years old. Within the village there are 2 Inns (1 due to re-open) and 'The International Welsh Rarebit Centre' cafe which serves as a community hub and has been visited by celebrities in recent times (Jonathon Ross and Gareth Edwards to name just two).
