The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including St. Bartholomew's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village also has a primary school, a pub, and a village hall, which hosts a range of community events throughout the year.

One of the main attractions of Beanacre is its proximity to a number of popular tourist destinations. The village is just a short drive from the historic city of Bath, which is famous for its Roman Baths, Georgian architecture, and vibrant cultural scene.
