About

Barrington ward encompasses the village of Barrington and its surrounding rural landscape in South Cambridgeshire. The area is defined by open farmland and the course of the River Rhee, which flows to the south. Settlement is concentrated around the large village green, one of the largest in the county, which serves as a central open space. The built environment consists primarily of residential properties, with some local services centred on the High Street.

The local economy has historical roots in agriculture, with chalk quarrying also playing a significant past role. The parish church of All Saints, with its notable spire, stands near the green. Transport connections are provided by roads like the A603, linking to nearby Cambridge. The ward's character is largely residential and agricultural, with the extensive green providing a distinct focal point for community life.
