Barton on Sea (often hyphenated as Barton-on-Sea) is a cliff-top village in Hampshire, England close to the town New Milton, which is its civil parish to the north. As a settlement, Barton has a history dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. Barton is notable for the many fossils to be found in the Barton geological beds in the cliffs, as well as for the significant sea defences built to guard the cliffs against coastal erosion. Barton on Sea is a very popular retirement location. Approximately 36% of the population are retired. The population of Barton in the 2001 census was 6,849.
