Welcome to Bar Hill

Bar Hill is a small village located in the South Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is situated approximately 8 miles northwest of Cambridge and is home to a population of around 4,000 people. Bar Hill is a relatively new village, having been built in the 1960s as part of a government initiative to create new towns and villages in the UK.

Despite its relatively recent construction, Bar Hill has a rich history. The village is located on the site of a former Roman settlement, and evidence of this can still be seen today. The village is home to a number of Roman artifacts, including a section of the Roman road that once ran through the area. Bar Hill is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Ives Bridge, which dates back to the 15th century.

Today, Bar Hill is a thriving community with a range of amenities and facilities. The village is home to a number of shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a community center and a primary school. The village is also well-connected, with easy access to the A14 and M11 motorways, as well as regular bus services to Cambridge and other nearby towns and villages. With its rich history, modern amenities, and convenient location, Bar Hill is a popular place to live and visit in Cambridgeshire.

Local Dog Walks

Chivers Lake
Nice Walk Around Lake, No On Lead Areas But Do Need To Be Careful Along Guided Busway Side As Fencing Is Poor. Not A Problem If Your Dog Has Good Recall. It's Perfect During Summer As It's Safe For Dogs To Swim. There Is A Large Field Next To The Holiday Inn Hotel Which You Can Get To From The Lake. Perfect For A Ball Game Or Game Of Chase With Other Dogs. My Dog Loves It There. Downside, People Do Not Always Clear Up Their Litter Which Is A Real Shame.

Milton Country Park Is A Popular Place For Dog Walkers. There Are Signs To Say Where Dogs Must Be Kept On Lead But There Also Areas Where Dogs Can Run Free.
