Barrow Cemetery in Norfolk

Three barrows in quite good condition in the heart of the north Norfolk countryside. The barrows all lay along the same road separated by about a hundred yards each time. They are very easy to spot being a few yards from the edge of the road. Not the most inspiring monuments but certainly worth a visit if you are passing this way. Probably best visited by bike as the road is busy enough (in the summer) to make parking at the side a bit antisocial.

Note: The barrows can be seen from the B1153 road.
