The population is spread over farms in an area approximately 25 square miles (65 km2). The population is around 80. The mainstay of employment is sheep-farming.
Wildlife is plentiful with many examples of rare birds of Great Britain, such as the black grouse[citation needed], Eurasian whimbrel and Eurasian curlew. The local beauty spot is a ford with wild flowers and a wood called Oldman Bottom, often mistakenly called "Old Man's Bottom".
The whole area is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The community centre was once a school for the area, but now serves as a venue for various local activities[1]
