About

Barnwood is a residential suburb located to the east of Gloucester city centre. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including post-war estates, semi-detached homes, and some modern developments. It functions primarily as a commuter area, with local shopping parades providing essential services. The ward contains several schools and community facilities, contributing to its self-contained nature within the larger urban area.

The landscape is partly defined by the presence of the former Barnwood House Hospital grounds, now largely redeveloped. A notable local feature is the historic Barnwood Arboretum, a surviving green space with a collection of mature trees. The area is bordered by the A40 and A417 road network, which shapes its eastern and southern edges, while residential streets extend towards the Churchdown boundary.
