It was formerly a larger village with a chapel and garth, both of which were demolished by 1573, with the graveyard remaining.[1][2] Since the 19th century, it has consisted of several rural estates: Horn Hill Farm, Bracken Fold, Bracken Farm and Bracken Burrows.[citation needed]
There are woodlands, walking paths, manorial waste and two streams that lie within its boundary: Bracken Beck in the south and an unnamed tributary of Cawkeld Sinks (a small lake in nearby Kilnwick) in the east. A section of the Minster Way crosses through the manor centre, from the south-east near Wedding Wood in Kilnwick to its northern boundary.
