Detailed Description
BARROW COMMON, Brancaster, Norfolk
A Special North West Norfolk Place
Situated on top of the hill overlooking Brancaster Staithe and less than a mile from the sea, in North Norfolk's Coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Barrow Common is a unique and stunning area of undulating, wooded heathland with wonderful, unparalleled panoramic views across the Staithe, over Scolt Head and out to The Wash.
The Common extends to approximately 82 acres (33 hectares) in a single parcel divided only by a minor country road and offers a broad range of opportunities, with a rich diversity of flora and fauna, very much a popular attraction for walkers and visitors from far and wide.
Grass, gorse and bracken primarily make up the ground cover, along with areas of indigenous mixed broadleaf woodland.
There are three formal public Rights of Way crossing the land, being a footpath and a Norfolk County Council (NCC) maintained unsurfaced road on the western half of the property and Common Lane itself, also NCC maintained, dividing the Common in two.
Marked on the Sale Plan close to the northern edge of the Common is a World War 2 Radar Station (approximately 77m2 in area) constructed from concrete with steel doors and wired glass windows and just to its south east is a former air raid shelter, also constructed from concrete and secured with a steel barred door.
