Barton, one of the largest of the Norfolk Broads. According to tournorfolk.co.uk, Barton was subject to substantial improvement around the millenium. A multi-million pound project was undertaken by the Broads Authority aimed at restoring the silting broad to clear water. The project on the whole has been a success and Barton Broad is once again a real boating paradise and does not suffer from shallow water like other broads. Barton Broad is home to numerous wildlife, including many species of birds, fish and even otters, who have returned to the broad following the clearwater project. An annual sailing regatta is held every August at the Norfolk Punt Club, who have their clubhouse in the middle of the broad! Please note that the Broads Authority no longer offer boat trips on Barton Broad.
