A former brickworks village
Up Nately's history includes a brick and tile works set up in the late 19th century, which is a reminder that some of the older housing stock in villages like this was originally built from locally made materials rather than imported ones — something occasionally relevant if an installer needs a close colour match on tiles.
A nature reserve on the edge of the village
Up Nately LNR, a local nature reserve within Butter Wood, sits right by the village, and properties near it can see more shade and falling leaf litter than homes on the more open side of Up Nately.
