About

Barnack ward encompasses a rural area to the west of Peterborough's urban centre, characterised by villages and agricultural land. It includes the named villages of Barnack, Bainton, and Ashton, along with several smaller hamlets. The landscape is defined by limestone uplands and lower-lying fen edges, supporting traditional farming practices. This is a predominantly residential and farming community, with a network of local roads connecting the settlements rather than major thoroughfares.

The area is notable for its historic limestone quarries, which provided the distinctive Barnack stone used in the construction of many regional buildings, including parts of Peterborough Cathedral and Ely Cathedral. Remnants of this industry, along with ancient ridge and furrow field patterns, are visible in the local topography. The ward contains significant conservation areas and scheduled monuments, with the village of Barnack itself centred around a large medieval church.
