Barton Broad

Barton Broad lies within The Broads National Park in Norfolk. The broad is situated to the south and east of the village of Barton Turf, and is within the parish of Barton Turf.

It is, after Hickling Broad, the second largest broad, and a nature reserve in the care of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It is reputed that Horatio Nelson learnt to sail here. Among other users are the Sailing Club of Gresham's School.

Excursions on the broad can be made in the United Kingdom's first solar powered passenger boat, the Ra, embarking at Gay's Staithe.
