The River Nene runs directly past the village in a series of locks. During the 1980s, major sand and gravel excavations took place all around Ringstead leaving many man-made lakes and islands. There is a local primary school situated next to St Mary's church, which is host to the famous Ringstaed flower festival. Ringstead is the birthplace of Alfred Roberts, the father of Margaret Thatcher.
