The village is well served by local shops and still retains a Post Office, Co-op, two Public Houses, a Doctor’s Surgery and Pharmacy.
At the centre of the village is Heathlands Primary School, so named as it was originally built on part of the ancient heath.
The village boasts numerous playing fields and green open spaces and is surrounded by farmland and large areas of woodland.
The most well-known of these is Hillhouse Wood (or Bluebell Wood) owned by the Woodland Trust. The bluebell displays in the wood every spring are renowned.
It is probable that the wood gave the village its original name since the Saxon word Bergholta
