The Archers Arms is in the centre of the village, 1 mile from the A30. They serve real ales, good choice of wines, an open fire and a friendly welcome.

Field at Trevethy

Some of the buildings at Trevethy can be glimpsed on the far side of the field. The farm is on the northern slopes of the Inny valley, which is in the background, with Newpark Wood on the southern slopes. The field is beside the farm's no through lane, from which the picture was taken.
