The parish of Felmersham and Radwell is almost encircled by the river Ouse as it winds its way through the north Bedfordshire countryside. Access to the village of Felmersham from the north is over a five arched stone bridge built in 1818 and is one of several stone bridges in the north of the county.

Felmersham bridge was strengthened and repaired in 1993, but there has never been a weight restriction placed upon it, a tribute to those early 19C bridge builders. Several times a year the Ouse valley and local approach roads flood, cutting off access to the parish both from the north and the south.

Next to the bridge is Jubilee Garden, a grassed area provided by the parish, where visitors can sit and enjoy the river. Boats and canoes can be launched from the public slip which is next to the Jubilee Garden. 

Over looking the river is the 13C parish church, built between 1220 and 1240 it is a fine example of Early English architecture. The principal features outside are the west front and the central tower, and inside the cathedral like Early English arches at the central crossing and an early 16C (perpendicular) oak screen.

Across the road from the church is the Tithe Barn. Built in 1428 it was sympathetically converted into four dwellings in the early Eighties. Prior to this it had stood empty for many years and it was the conversion that probably saved it from a eventual ruin.

The village has a cyber pub where customers can drink a pint while surfing the net, a lower school, a village hall and playing field, a cricket field and 206 properties.

Properties in the village are a mixture of old stone cottages and houses, Victorian brick built cottages, villas and houses and modern houses and bungalows. Those built in the sixties and seventies tend not to be sympathetic with the area, however more recent developments have been better designed and have added character to the village. A circular village walk describes many of the interesting buildings.

To the north of the village is a 52 acre nature reserve created from flooded gravel pits used for the extraction of sand and gravel to build local war time airfields. There are several scenic walks in the area many of which are "way marked".
