The village is just south of the Nottingham to Grantham railway line where there is still evidence of a spur, known as the Barnstone branch, from the former Saxondale Junction through present-day Bingham to Melton Mowbray. The hamlet is close to the residential area of Upper Saxondale, a redevelopment of the former Saxondale Hospital site.
