Wallington, the 17th-century hall, is just south of the village, and has been owned by the National Trust since 1942.

In Cambo itself, Holy Trinity church dates from 1842, with a west tower added in 1884. The village post office is housed in a three-storey 16th-century bastle house.

Notable people

Capability Brown, the 18th-century landscape gardener, was educated at the village school. He was born at nearby Kirkharle.
