Bar Hill was purpose-built as a new village in the 1960s. A thriving, well-connected and very well-served community and established itself as a fine place to live and work. All paths within the village lead to the centre, making it especially safe for children.

It is only around 4 miles northwest of the city boundary, easily accessible by car or by bus via the A14 or the new local access road (A1307). You can also reach the Cambridge or St Ives city centres by bike using the purpose-built cycle paths or the guided bus cycle path.

The village has a church, sports and recreation ground, multiple children's play areas, a range of shops including a Tesco Superstore, a fish and chip shop, a pub, coffee shops, an Indian takeaway and an 18-hole golf course, plus a host of small businesses for day-to-day needs. There is a primary school in the village which feeds into the highly regarded Swavesey Village College. There is also a village post office and library, as well as a doctors and dentists. With its extensive facilities, it is a good location for people who don’t want to rely on a car for day-to-day living. Fields surround the village, and there are pleasant walks through the local nature reserve to Dry Drayton to the south,to Lolworth to the west and to Oakington to the east.
