Though housing was first built in Red Lodge in 1926, the Red Lodge Inn pub dates back to the 17th Century where it was thought to be a former hunting lodge. Today it’s a vibrant and thriving steakhouse and bar, which specialises in exotic meats. There is also the Red Lodge Heath, a site of special scientific interest with a number of nationally rare plants and animals.

Red Lodge enjoys a growing community with many local amenities, including an Ecumenical church, a Primary school, a village hall, and venue known as the Millenium Centre, a sports pavilion with tennis courts, a five-a-side football pitch, and allotments. The new village centre which opened in 2014 benefits from a convenience store, fish and chip shop, kebab shop, pharmacy, and a hairdressers.
