[1] Yelvertoft's main thoroughfare, called High Street, is approximately three quarters of a mile long, from the Parish Church of All Saints to the Village Hall.

[4] Yelvertoft has maintained a more independent, rural character compared to other villages in the region, such as Crick, because no major transport routes pass through it.

[citation needed] Yelvertoft has three churches (Anglican, Congregational, Roman Catholic), a primary school, a butcher's shop/delicatessen, a public house, an Equestrian centre and many small businesses.

The club previously operated out of their old ground on the bridleway between Yelvertoft and Crick via Cracks Hill, but moved to the new cricket pitch at the village hall in 2009.

Yelvertoft previously had a football team which played regularly in the Rugby and District Sunday League division and was established in 1987.

In 2023 the club ceased operating regularly, however a charity match is still organised every Christmas, they played in a black and white strip.

The Knightley Arms was used for changing and catering, and games took place on a rugby pitch next to canal bridge 21 to the east of the village.
