Barton in Fabis is a small, riverside village and civil parish in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the south bank of the River Trent opposite Nottingham. Its low-lying position means surrounding flood meadows and riverside paths are a notable part of the local landscape, giving the place a quietly rural feel despite its proximity to the city.
Historically medieval in origin - the unusual "Fabis" element comes from the Latin for beans, reflecting old agricultural ties - the community remains small and largely residential with farming and commuting to nearby urban centres shaping the local economy. The village’s historic links with river transport and the surviving rural character make it popular with walkers and anyone looking for a slice of Nottinghamshire countryside close to the city.
