Areas near Webuye include Lugulu, Milo, Maraka, Furoi, Lukusi, Lutacho and Misikhu. It is home to the Nabuyole Falls of Nzoia River. In Maraka, there exists the famed "mfunje" suspension bridge which consists of rickety timber strips joined with some metal wires, precariously dangling across River Nzoia. It attracts a considerable number of both local and foreign tourists who enjoy the thrill of crossing the river on the shaky locally made bridge.
Webuye has in the recent past also seen the establishment of some important education centres, including a constituent college campus of the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, and a Kenya Medical Training college Campus.
Webuye town hosts Webuye County Hospital, a leading referral medical facility in the region.
The town's economy was hit hard by the dwindling fortunes of Pan African Paper Mills, which closed down in 2008 but opened up again under a new investor thus changing its identity to Rai paper manufacturing company which has resulted to once again the liveliness of the town. Currently major malls and hotels are being constructed in the town which will bring in a new air.
The nearest tourist attraction is the Nabuyole waterfalls on River Nzoia. The falls are seven kilometres from Webuye and provide a cool breeze to tourists.
