Today
Today, St Neots is a thriving market town. The modern town incorporates Eynesbury (originally the main settlement and the oldest part of the town) and two areas across the river, Eaton Ford and Eaton Socon (originally separate villages). The town continues to grow rapidly due to a huge demand for modern housing on the outskirts of St. Neots.The town takes its share of the increasing population in the area in and around Cambridge. Technology-based industries now operate from some of the town's light industrial estates, and there is a gas turbine power station at Little Barford on the edge of the town. Recent development has added Eynesbury Manor and The Island, Little Paxton bringing the population above 30,000. There are also plans for over 1200 new homes to the east of the East Coast Main Line railway. By the river, next to the Priory Center, lies St Neots Rowing Club. This club has produced international athletes and many national champions. Eynesbury is a Saxon settlement in Cambridgeshire, England. ...

Local geography St Neots lies close to the south-western edge of Huntingdonshire district and is situated in the valley of the River Great Ouse, partly on the flood plain and partly on slightly higher ground a little further from the water. The Great Ouse is a mature river, once wide and shallow but now controlled by weirs and sluices and restrained in a well-defined channel. Tributaries entering the Ouse in the town are the River Kym, Hen Brook, Duloe Brook, and Colmworth Brook. Because the area is generally low lying (compared to the higher lands to the north), the river often swells and bursts its banks due to heavy rainfall. The flood waters affect a large proportion of the town. The vast majority of Riverside Park is flooded at these times and many urban areas around the Ouse's tributary rivers/brooks flood as well leaving many homes saturated which in turn, will devastate the house's value because of its flood-prone location. Huntingdonshire (abbreviated Hunts) is a part of England around Huntingdon, which is currently administered as a local government district of Cambridgeshire. ...

St Neots developed at the site of a ford where overland routes converged. This was replaced by a medieval bridge, and today there are two further crossings just outside the town, one to the north and another to the south. The three-mile £8m A45 St Neots Bypass opened in December 1985 and was subsequently redesignated as the A428. The soil is mainly light, overlying gravel beds, and gravel extraction is one of the local industries. Older disused gravel pits form useful nature reserves and amenity areas at nearby Paxton Pits and at the Wyboston Leisure Park. Away from the river, the higher land is mainly a heavy clay soil with few large settlements. Much of the land is used for arable farming.
