Barrow is a village and civil parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, lying a few miles west of Bury St Edmunds. It sits in gently rolling Suffolk countryside with surrounding arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, and its position close to larger towns gives it convenient road links that make it part rural community, part commuter settlement.
The village combines a handful of historic buildings and a medieval parish church with more recent housing developments, and life here revolves around a village hall, a primary school, a pub and annual community events. Agriculture and small local businesses remain important to the local economy, while active clubs and societies help keep a strong social fabric despite steady growth in recent decades.
