About

Barrow ward encompasses the village of Barrow and its immediate surrounding farmland within the West Suffolk district. The settlement is positioned close to the River Lark, with the area's topography gently sloping towards this watercourse. Land use is primarily residential and agricultural, featuring a mix of arable fields and pasture typical of this region of Suffolk.

The community is centred along the High Street, which contains a range of local services and the distinctive All Saints' Church, a landmark with a round tower dating to the 14th century. The ward includes the historical site of Barrow Hall, though the original mansion is no longer standing. Development has extended with newer housing, but the overall character remains that of a large village within a rural setting.
