Amenities in the village include a hairdressers, the offices of a financial advisor, a village hall and a Church of England VC Lower School. Wrestlingworth has a number of listed buildings including the Church of St Peter, and the centre of the village is a Conservation Area.
Community groups in the village often meet at the Grade I listed 17th-century public house, The Chequers, and at the Wrestlingworth Memorial Hall. These include the local Women's Institute, the Goodwill Fund, the Walking and Wildlife Group, the History Society and the Badminton Club.
Wrestlingworth lies 2.5 miles (4 km) east south-east of Potton and 13.5 miles (22 km) south-west of Cambridge. The eastern parish boundary borders Cambridgeshire.
Elevation
The village centre is 41 metres (135 ft) above sea level. The land falls to 28 metres (92 ft) in the south-east corner of the parish. The highest point is in Cockayne Hatley Wood at 91 metres (299 ft).
Landscape
Natural England has designated the area as part of The Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands (NCA 88). Central Bedfordshire Council has classified the landscape as Dunton Clay Vale. Not technically a 'vale', it is used here to mean a transitional landscape between a valley and a plateau. Medium to large fields of cereal crops dominate. The limited woodland cover and incomplete or unhedged roads reveal an open, undulating landscape. Former hedgerow lines are marked in places by trees.
