Overview

Barrington is a small rural community in the Kentish local government area of Tasmania’s North West region, situated about 21 km south‑west of Devonport. At the 2016 Census the state suburb recorded 197 residents, reflecting its tight‑knit, country‑settlement character. The locality is bounded to the south‑west and west by the Forth River and to the east largely by the Don River, giving the area a natural, water‑framed setting.

Road access is centred on the B14 (Sheffield Road), which runs north‑to‑south‑east through Barrington, while the C143 (Barrington Road) branches off the B14 and heads south. Amenities within a short distance include the historic Barrington Post Office weather station and the Glencoe Country Bed & Breakfast, both less than 0.5 km away, as well as the nearby Devils Gate Dam and Power Station and the Sheffield transmission substation. The housing stock consists of a mix of residences typical of a small rural locality, offering a peaceful lifestyle with easy links to surrounding towns.
