グレードII*指定建造物で、起源はサクソン時代に遡る可能性がありますが、現在の構造は主に13世紀の建築様式を特徴としています。鉄石、石灰岩、花崗岩の構造で知られ、教会は1858年と1891年に重要なヴィクトリア朝時代の修復を受けました。

主に花崗岩の砕石とレンガで造られたこの橋は、6つの明瞭に見えるアーチと、岸によって部分的に隠された7番目のアーチを持ち、低い胸壁と東側には3つの丸いウォーターバットレスを備えています。 かつては荷馬にとって重要な横断路でしたが、現在は主に浅瀬に隣接する歩行者用の施設となっており、レスターシャー・ラウンドを歩く人々によく利用されています。

John Merrick's Lake is one of numerous lakes within the Reedbed Nature Reserve. The reserve is a great place for birdwatching, with wildlife all around you.

Cossington Meadow, overseen by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, was once a gravel quarry during the 1980s and 90s. As part of the Leicestershire Round development, the pits were filled with inert waste, some areas were covered with soil and seeded with grass, and deep holes were intentionally left to create lakes. Interpretation boards across the site provide information about the diverse plant and animal life that has established itself in the reserve.

Constructed in 1714, this seven-arched packhorse bridge stands as a historical landmark. Only five arches are visible now. According to village records, it was built by by six men in nine days.

A heritage centre entre stands on the site of the abandoned Nunckley granite quarry. A branch railway line was constructed in 1897 and conveyed over 100,000 tons of ballast from the quarry for the construction of the Great Central Railway. The quarry was closed in 1924 and the branch line in 1964. Work to restore the line started in 2007 and the site, including a heritage centre, coffee shop and railway station was opened to the public in 2016.
