The village itself is very scenic with the High Street being the centre, home to a quaint thatched pub and a short walk to the RSPB nature reserve, Fen Drayton Lakes, well known for wetland birds.

The guided bus stops within the nature reserve take passengers to Cambridge along what was previously the railway line; this service also continues to Addenbrookes hospital and west bound to St Ives.
