The Marches Way long distance footpath passes through the village and, heading south, then crosses Sutton Walls Hill Fort.
S and A Produce Ltd, a grower, packer, importer and exporter of soft fruit and asparagus are based in the village. An investigation by The Independent newspaper in 2009 found that the firm hired more than 2,400 people, predominantly Romanians and Bulgarians to work on its farms in Herefordshire and Kent. Some of these workers were taking home as little as £45 a week after obligatory charges had been deducted.
