About

Bar Hill ward is a planned village situated approximately six miles northwest of Cambridge. It was developed in the 1960s on former farmland, characterised by a central shopping precinct and residential areas. The layout is functional, with housing estates and a significant amount of green space, including playing fields and a large village green. The community is served by a medical centre, schools, and a library, forming a self-contained residential area with a focus on local amenities.

The area is defined by its proximity to major transport routes, including the A14 road which runs along its southern boundary. A notable feature is the presence of a large supermarket and retail park that serves a wider catchment beyond the village itself. The ward contains areas of woodland and the Bar Hill Golf Course, providing recreational space. Its demographic includes many residents who commute to Cambridge or the nearby Cambridge Science Park.
