Within the area of the parish there are also the roads: Fyfield Lane and Privet Lane, these both connect to Fyfield Road in the village, and both also come off of the A342, which forms the eastern border of the parish. The village is also located in proximity of the A303, this can be accessed via Thruxton or Weyhill.

Although there are 3 sets of bus stops in the village, as of 2024 no bus service goes to these stops. Unity does run an Andover Taxishare in the area, however this is only pre-bookable. The closest operating bus stop is on the A342, named "The White House". This line is the Activ8 bus line Salisbury-Andover and vice-versa, operated by Salisbury Reds and Stagecoach South. The only other nearby bus service is in Weyhill / Thruxton, with the Monxton Rd & Thruxton route, operated by Stagecoach South.

Fyfield has a church, officially: St Nicholas, Church of Fyfield. This church was listed in the Domesdfay Book 1086 A.D. And its current form is believed to date from the 14th Century. ^[2]

No college runs transport into the village. Currently Andover College (Hampshire) can be accessed via the Activ8 bus. Prior to September 2024 Peter Symonds College operated a bus from Ludgershall to the college, this would have passed through the White House stop. However as of September 2024 this service has been stopped. Currently students wishing to travel to the college by bus should take the Activ8 to Andover bus station, and from there take a bus to Winchester, the 75 is normal service, with the 74 running directly to the college, and the 73 running to the college via Sparsholt College.
