The infant River Thames forms part of the northern boundary of the parish. Near the river is Upper Waterhay Meadow, a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The first All Saints Church dated from the 13th century and was at Waterhay, north of the village.[2] In 1896 parts of it were rebuilt by Charles Ponting at a site closer to the village and less prone to flooding.[3] The chancel of the old church still stands; both it and the newer church are Grade II* listed.[4][5]
