Barton Broad's alder carr woodland would be inaccessible to walkers but for an excellent boardwalk that leads to a fine viewpoint across the water. This type of wet woodland is like a lost world, little pockets of undisturbed wildernesses. Expect a plethora of ferns, liverworts and mosses. While perfect for wheelchairs and buggies, bear in mind that dogs are not permitted on the boardwalk, with the exception of guide dogs.

Dug out during the medieval peat industry's heyday, today Barton Broad is a haven for wildlife. This boardwalk gives access to a lovely viewpoint across the water, while also letting you get up close to the alder carr woodland. The fens here are home to some nationally rare invertebrates, including the iconic swallowtail butterfly.
