The parish church, St Nicholas's has a 13th century core, rebuilt in the 16th century and much restored since. Leckford was on the Andover Canal which later became the Andover and Redbridge Railway, but did not have a station. The route through Leckford today is used by the Test Way long distance footpath.

The parish contains the Leckford Estate, owned by the John Lewis Partnership.
