Barnwood is a suburb and electoral ward to the east of Gloucester city centre in Gloucestershire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of post‑war housing and more recent developments, and is valued locally for green spaces such as Barnwood Park which provide amenity for families and walkers.
The area combines a quiet suburban feel with pockets of industry and commerce around Barnwood Business Park, so local employment is a mix of light industry, offices and community services. Historically it grew from a village into a city suburb through the 20th century, and today has a socially mixed population supported by schools, community centres and active local groups.
