A charming village with a well known pub provides a welcoming stop for a thirsty walker.

Parking in this village , locally referred to as 'Doddy' , is virtually impossible unless you are planning to visit the well known Nobody Inn, which once served as a church house.

The area south of the village was well known historically for its mining activities.
