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.
