Bartlow: Roman hills and a round-tower church
Bartlow covers only 385 acres, making it one of Cambridgeshire’s smallest parishes, and had 101 residents in 2021. The River Granta runs through the village, and Ashdon in Essex lies just over the southern boundary.
Bartlow station, on the old Haverhill line, closed in 1967. Today most journeys for shopping, GP appointments or hospital visits mean a drive to Linton, Haverhill or Cambridge, which is one more reason regular help at home matters here.
