Sitting on the south bank of the River Great Ouse close to St Ives, it retains a compact, picturesque character with waterside footpaths, old bridges and a scattering of period cottages and parish amenities that make it popular for walkers and local wildlife watching.
The village has strong historic and cultural interest: its manor house dates back to the 12th century and is celebrated as one of the oldest continuously inhabited houses in the country, famously inspiring Lucy M. Boston’s Green Knowe books.
