This viewpoint looks over the expansive freshwater lake of Barton Broad in Norfolk. The lake features gorgeous reed beds and waterlilies that provide home for a number of wonderful bird species including marsh harriers, bitterns, and great crested grebes. Boating enthusiasts are often seen exploring the lake's waters too.

Cox's Boatyard is located on Barton Broad, which is the largest of the local broads. It's opposite a floating triangular island at the head of the broad, known as "The Heater". It's a wildlife rich environment, and you will find water birds and otters mixing it up with the water craft from SUPs to dinghies and traditional wherries. Users of this broad are following in no lesser footsteps than those of Lord Horatio Nelson, who started his sailing here, long before Trafalgar.

In the winter months this area can become quite water logged. Remember to close any gates behind you to ensure the Konik Ponies don't escape when they are in the reserve.

The Norfolk Broads National Park has over 125 miles (201 km) of waterways that wind through countryside, charming villages and sea views. This corner of Norfolk even has more miles of waterway than Venice and Amsterdam! Its marshlands, reeds and woodland provide the perfect backdrop for cycling. The river Bure, Thurne, Ant, Yare, Chet, Waveney and Wensum all flow through the area.

Horsey Mere is regarded as one of the most beautiful of the northern broads. Close to the Norfolk coast, Horsey's reed beds and grazing marshes offer a habitat of international importance for birds, including wigeon, teal, shoveller, pochard, gadwall, goldeneye, tufted duck, bitterns, stonechats, yellow wagtails, and grasshopper warblers. You might even spot two rare warblers here; Cetti's and Savi's. According to folklore, on 13th June every year the screams of drowned children can be heard from the mere.

Heigham Sound is a clear lake that's popular with sailors and boaters. It's home to an abundance of rare birds and insects at all times of year, too. At this spot, between meadows and Heigham Sound, with boats floating on the water and the sound of birdsong flowing through the air, you can experience a slice of Norfolk’s rural idyll.

Barns, fields and windmills all around!
