Hi guys,
We are looking to relocate nearer to Bury St Edmunds (Currently West of Cambridge) and have identified a few houses that seem interesting. One of these is in Barningham. I cant find much about the village other than a few web pages and wondered as a lot of you are good Suffolk folk if there was any feedback I could get. To give a bit more we are a family of 5, with 2 young kids (6&8) and have a dog so details on schools, things to do for the kids, walks for the dog etc would be ideal.
Cheers |  | | |  |

It's got a pub and a shop and near to knettishall heath, unfortunately it's quite close to Norfolk. |  | | |

Do they have a nice village green? If so, does it have travelers on it? |  |

Fisons where the sponsors when I first started to follow town. I got a load af crap from my school. mates saying we were sponsored by a manure company. Liverpool where the big club at my school in those days. 99% of them never even been to a game and probably still haven’t. | | | |

It might be a little further out than you anticipate.
Seems a pleasant enough area but if Bury is going to be your place of work/schools at some point/ socialising etc, like I say...
The road approaching Bury can be busy as feck in the mornings with a bit of a tail back at times. Just mentioning it as it may be worth noting.
I know a lass who lives there and will ask her if I can get hold of her next day or 2. |  |

Ha, at least it was a successful world-renowned local company! | |

I lived in nearby Sapiston for about a year, and can't say there was anything memorable about Barningham. It's a bit isolated and there's not a great deal around from memory. You'll be going to Bury for most things, or possibly Thetford if you're desperate. |  | | |

Who said politeness was dead? Hope she agrees to it. |  |

You,d be better to look around the Elmswell area to be honest. As others have said, Barningham is in "nowhere land" really. Also the road to Bury is a right snarl up at times, with the A143 through Gt Barton at a standstill in the evening rush hour. Whether property prices reflect Barninghams remoteness compared to others, that i don,t know. Best of luck in your search. |  | | |

Thetford forest is close by which is amazing for walks. You have the peddars way too which starts at Knettishal heath. However, Barningham is not something I can comment on specifically other than to echo what others have said. I think it's a quiet and fairly unspectacular village that is a maybe a bit remote. |  |

I grew up nearby and had friends there. It’s quiet. And one thing worth considering, the catchment for schooling post middle school is huge, Barningham is a trek to school, and taking your kids to friends etc could easily be over an hour round trip if they live the other side of the catchment. |  |

Cheers, yep it was all about the property price. Ideally we want to be closer to Bury but can’t afford what we like there hence going a little further out | | | |

I grew up in Cambridgeshire so the locals didn’t have a top team in the town to follow. | | | |
