The nest way to see it is to hire a self-drive dayboat either from nearby Sutton Staithe, or from Ludham Bridge. Barton Broad Boardwalk is a journey through reeds and marshland culminating in a wondrous view over the Broad. The view point is the only place you can see the Broad without being on the water. The start of the board-walk is a 45 to 60 minute walk from Neatishead through pleasant quiet countryside, or take the car, which will get you there in around 10 minutes.
