Barton Mills is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set on the banks of the River Lark and close to the A11. Its riverside setting and surrounding arable farmland give it a low‑lying, fen‑edge character and make it a tranquil rural stop between nearby towns such as Mildenhall and Newmarket.
Historically the settlement grew up around mills and river crossings, and it still shows that historic fabric in its older buildings and parish church; today the local economy is largely agricultural with many people commuting to nearby service centres and military bases like RAF Mildenhall. Community life centres on the village hall, pub and occasional local events, so Barton Mills combines a strong sense of local history with practical road links and countryside living.
