Barton Turf Adventure Centre

Now run by Sheila and Simon Fishwick, Di and Glyn Newberry and Ash and Steph Cato, it is open to everybody, but especially schools and youth groups. We provide accommodation in tents and offer access to a range of adventurous (chiefly watersports) and environmental activities using Barton Broad and the 14-acre private nature reserve. The centre has its own slipway into an arm of Barton Broad, and can launch and recover boats of up to about 6m in length, 2m beam, 0.5m draught (keels up). Wider boats will have to be manhandled over the side of the quay, or launched through Cox's Boatyard (for a fee). Boats may be moored overnight.

OS Map Ref TG356225. From Norwich, take A1151 through Wroxham & Hoveton. 2 miles after leaving Hoveton, turn right onto an unclassified rd signed Neatishead & Barton Turf. Go through Neatishead (beware: blind double bends!) over bridge & take 1st turn right (Hall Rd), signed Barton Turf. On reaching Barton Turf, fork right beside green, signed "Staithe" & continue straight down Staithe Rd. The Barton Turf Adventure Centre Sailing Base is on left, behind a pair of double farm gates, about 75yds past Bittern Crescent. If coming from Northeast (Cromer, Holt, Stalham, Cats Common) follow the sign to Barton Turf & Pennygate however these roads are single track & too narrow for wide vehicles to negotiate easily.
