Communications are good to all parts of the country, the principal road links being a) the A14 from the east coast to the Midlands and giving access to the M11 to London and the M1, north and south, or the M6 to the north west and b) the A1, Great North Road. The A14 is some 4 miles north of Kimbolton and to reach Kimbolton from the west you should leave at the Catworth junction, the B660. From the east, leave at Spaldwick.

From the south, leave the A1 at St Neots, onto the B645 and Kimbolton is 7 miles west of this point.
