Barkway is a village and civil parish in North Hertfordshire, England. Situated just 4.5 miles south east of the town of Royston, the village was once a major stopping point on the coaching route from London to Cambridge and the North East of England. There is evidence of much earlier existences and the Barkway Local History Group was set up in 2018 by a small number of local residents to investigate and research the ancient and more recent history of the village for the benefit of residents and the wider community.
