BARTON TURF |
A lovely unspoilt broadland village on the banks of Barton Broad |
||||||||||||||||||||
Barton Turf is a lovely, small, unspoilt broadland village. It has its own staithe and boatyard giving direct access to Barton Broad. The village itself has many pretty cottages and there is a village green with pond. The village has no shop or pub, which helps to keep the village quiet and peaceful. The village church is about a mile out of the village and well worth a walk on a fine day. |

Barton Hall is privately owned and not usually open
to the public - but once a year in early June a village fete is held in the grounds, allowing public access to see the hall.
Barton Hall was once the home of Admiral Horatio Nelson's sister Catherine and brother-in-law George Matcham. Nelson often visited them as he was very fond of his sister. |
