About

Bearton is a residential ward situated to the east of Hitchin's historic town centre. The area is primarily characterised by housing developments from the 20th century, with a mix of semi-detached and detached homes. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads, including the A505 to the south and Bedford Road to the north, creating a distinct neighbourhood. Local amenities include several schools, a medical centre, and the Bearton Green open space, which serves as a community hub.

The ward contains the site of the former Hitchin Power Station, a landmark that once dominated the skyline near the River Hiz. This industrial history contrasts with the area's current suburban feel. Transport connections are provided by the nearby Hitchin railway station, offering direct links to London and Cambridge. The area maintains a practical relationship with the wider town, relying on the centre for larger shopping and leisure facilities while providing essential local services for its residents.
