The area has four well established public houses, one in Myddle, two in Harmer Hill and one in Yorton.
There are Village Halls in Harmer Hill and Myddle, offering well appointed accommodation for community use. The Council recognises the value of these halls and gives grant aid annually to help with the upkeep.
Myddle also has an excellent primary school with first class facilities and a very good reputation for teaching and learning.
In the area there are two Parish Churches, one in Myddle and the other in Yorton with a Chapel located in Harmer Hill.
There is a Recreation Ground in both of the main villages with an excellent Children’s Play Area on the Myddle site. The equipment was purchased following fund raising by a dedicated local committee, who then passed the area on to the Council which maintains and insures it.
