The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Margaret's Church. The church dates back to the 14th century and features a number of interesting architectural features, including a 15th-century font and a 17th-century pulpit.

The village of Southolt has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has been inhabited continuously ever since.

Today, the village is a peaceful and picturesque place to live, with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a post office.

Despite its small size, Southolt is a vibrant and welcoming community, with a range of events and activities taking place throughout the year.
