There is a public house here called The Bull's Head, which claims the distinction of being the highest public house in Leicestershire, at 787 feet (240 m) above sea level.[1]
The hamlet also contains the Abbots Oak Country House, which is a Grade II listed building. The house is built of Charnwood granite and has an imposing tower with a fine wooden staircase; its listing description ascribes a mid-nineteenth century origin.[2]
