The village has very few amenities, but there is a primary school and a licensed social club run by a committee of members. There are three entrances to the village, two of which lead from the A1041 road between Selby and Camblesforth. The other entrance is a single-track road leading from the Selby bypass. The village's two nature reserves offer a network of paths and bridleways for woodland walks but neither allows horse riding. Barlow common also has a private fishing area and information centre.
Before the 19th century, Barlow was usually known as 'Berlay' or 'Barley'.[2] The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.[3]
