The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Goatacre Manor House. The village also has a number of amenities, including a village hall, a pub, and a cricket club.

One of the main attractions of Goatacre is its cricket club, which was founded in 1947. The club has a long and successful history, having won a number of local and national competitions over the years. The club's ground, which is located in the heart of the village, is considered to be one of the most picturesque in the country. The club also has a thriving youth section, which provides coaching and opportunities for young people to get involved in the sport.
