From Wikitravel

St Neots (not to be confused with the village of St Neot in Cornwall) is a riverside market town just north of the border between Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. Despite some pretty parks and a few historic buildings, St Neots offers relatively little to entice the traveller, but is a pleasant enough stopover or base for touring the region.

[edit] Get in

[edit] Train

St Neots is served by the East Coast Main line. Regular FirstCapitalConnect trains from London stop at St Neots; express trains pass straight through.

[edit] Car

St Neots sits at the junction of the A1 an A428. Despite being major cross country trunk routes, both are single lane in parts. The journey between Cambridge and St Neots in particular is best avoided at the beginning and end of the working day.

[edit] Boat

St Neots sits on an attractive, peaceful stretch of the River Great Ouse. Mooring and marina facilities are available

[edit] Get around

The centre of St Neots is small and easily traversed on foot. Drivers may find the one way system in parts of the centre slightly confusing

[edit] Taxi

Taxis in St Neots are expensive. Steve's Taxis have a small office on the market square
