The road, Akeman Street, which once joined Ely to London, passes close to the village from north to south.

Car Dyke, the Roman drainage canal known locally as the Tilling, also runs through the village and in medieval times marked the boundary between the marshes of Landbeach and neighbouring Waterbeach.

[3] The village has three archaeological sites with remains of mediaeval manor houses, which together form a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The parish church of All Saints comprises a chancel with north chapel, a nave with south porch, and a three-stage west tower with a slim octagonal spire.

[5][6] Landbeach has two churches (Anglican and Baptist), a village hall and an Indian restaurant (formerly The Slap Up public house).

[3][7] Within the parish boundary, but outside the residential area, is Cambridge Research Park, on the site of the former Landbeach Marina, itself a flooded former gravel pit.
