Introduction
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.
The tiny village of IRSTEAD is tucked away and surrounded by water on two sides. In truth, there is little there except for a thatched medieval church and a collection of riverside houses. What makes Irstead so special though is its unspoilt riverside setting, almost cut off from the rest of Norfolk. It's a great place to escape the world and enjoy the beauty of the Norfolk countryside at its best.
