Barrow is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, lying a few miles from the market town of Bury St Edmunds. It sits amid the rolling arable countryside typical of the area, with a mix of historic cottages, farmhouses and a parish church at its heart.
Traditionally an agricultural community, Barrow now combines farming with a number of residents who commute to nearby towns; local life centres on the village hall, pub and community groups, with regular events that reflect the strong village identity. The proximity to Bury St Edmunds and the wider Suffolk heritage means easy access to markets, historic sites and countryside walks.
