There used to be a Methodist chapel, a post office and The Hop Pole public house in the village, but all three are now residential dwellings. At Risbury cross there is a bus shelter, however the accompanying red phone box was decommissioned in 2018 and moved to the village hall opposite to house a defibrillator.

Risbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort, is just outside the village on private farmland, although a public footpath runs nearby. There is a green burial ground, Humber Woodland of Remembrance, outside within the parish.[1]
