It has convenient road links to Cambridge, Royston and London, with the M11 being only a few minutes’ drive away, a regular bus service, and a new purpose-built, road traffic free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington and on to the city.

The village is well placed for Addenbrookes Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approx.

13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles. Whittlesford Parkway for links to London Liverpool Street is also easily accessible.

Within the village, there is an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated primary school in walking distance, a restaurant, a doctors’ surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a village hall, hairdresser, café, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children’s playground.
