The nearest stop for the Guided Busway is just a mile away in neighbouring Swavesey; this is a direct route west to the market town of St Ives and south to the city of Cambridge, stopping at the Science Park, train station and Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

The community centre, located next to a sports field and children's play area holds many events such as weddings, parties and sports matches.
