Barroway Drove is a small, linear village set in the low-lying Fens within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. The surrounding landscape is characteristically flat and open, carved by drains and dykes that reflect centuries of fenland reclamation, and it sits amid extensive arable farmland with notable birdlife and wide skies that appeal to walkers and naturalists.
Locally, the settlement has a quiet, rural character: agriculture dominates the economy, the population is sparse and community ties are strong, and everyday life is shaped by seasonal work and village events rather than industry. Historically the area was transformed by drainage and enclosure programmes that created the patchwork fields seen today, and many residents commute to nearby market towns while others value the relative remoteness and countryside lifestyle.
