The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is known for its picturesque countryside, historic buildings, and friendly community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Wittersham is the parish church of St. John the Baptist. This beautiful church dates back to the 12th century and features a stunning Norman doorway, a 14th-century tower, and a 15th-century chancel. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors who come to admire its architecture and learn about its history.

Another popular attraction in Wittersham is the local pub, The Swan Inn. This traditional English pub has been serving locals and visitors alike for over 200 years and is known for its warm welcome, delicious food, and excellent selection of beers and wines. The pub also hosts regular events and live music nights, making it a hub of social activity in the village.
