For commuting, there is a reliable weekday bus service connecting Leavenheath to both Colchester and Sudbury, and Colchester North Station provides direct trains to London Liverpool Street.

Nature enthusiasts will love the location, close to the River Stour and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known as Constable Country.
