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.

We start our tour of Barton Turf at the public staithe, which is a peaceful place to moor your boat. All kinds of boats call in at the staithe, including wherries, yachts and cruisers, and its a great place to enjoy a picnic or a quiet evening fishing.

The countryside around the village is very picturesque and there are some great walks and cycle rides along the quiet country lanes. It gives the opportunity to see some great Norfolk sunsets - here over the church.

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.
