About

A notable local landmark is the Linton Zoo, a conservation-focused wildlife park established for decades. The parish church of St Mary’s, with its medieval tower, stands near the village centre. The ward includes the smaller settlement of Bartlow, known for its Roman burial mounds. Transport links are primarily via the A1307 road, connecting to Cambridge and Haverhill.
