Barton Turf
Barton Broad is the second largest Broad in the county and is home to the Norfolk Punt Club, which was formed in 1926. Barton Turf's cricket ground has been home to the Norwich Wanderers for many years and is a picturesque setting. Today, nearly all the shops, blacksmiths, coal merchants and basket-makers have closed, making way for mostly residential properties.
