Places to visit

Barton Civic Society has developed a series of self-guided trails around the town, passing magnificent churches and chapels, fine halls and merchants’ houses. Tracing the development of the local industries that shaped Barton – the manufacture of ropes, bicycles, bricks and tiles, they tell the story of how Barton grew from a town mentioned in the Doomsday Book to one of the most important ports on the Humber in the late medieval period. Free walks leaflets can be obtained from any of the South Humber Collection attractions and many local shops.
