Lound Lakes is a nature reserve managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. It’s a beautiful area that’s rich in wildlife with an abundance of damselflies and dragonflies. The Norfolk/Suffolk border runs horizontally through the lake, making this the most northerly spot in Suffolk.

Nicolas Everitt Park is a popular public park situated along the shores of Oulton Broad, a large body of water that forms part of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. Oulton Broad is known for its boating and watersports activities, and Nicolas Everitt Park is an excellent starting point for boaters to explore the surrounding waterways. You can enjoy picnics in the park's open green spaces while overlooking the scenic views of Oulton Broad. There's also a cafe in the middle of the park.

Lovely cafe for a coffee

Absolutely lovely place to take the girls to, with a great play area

Castle Marshes is a large Broadland nature reserve and home to a huge variety of plant, bird and insect life. Summer brings butterflies and dragonflies, including rare types such as the Norfolk hawker dragonfly. Summer’s birds include several types of warbler as well as lapwings and redshanks. Overhead, birds of prey hover in search of snacks in the tall grasses. Winter transforms these marshes, cared for by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. While the Angles Way footpath stays high enough to walk along, the marshes themselves are flooded to create an enormous expanse of water for the overwintering wildfowl. Teal, widgeon and gadwall are some of the winter faces you can see here.

Every year, over 64,000 birds visit Berney Marshes and Breydon Water Nature Reserve. You will find pink-footed geese, wigeons, lapwings and many more species. The reserve is particularly spectacular in winter when thousands of wintering ducks, geese and swans come to the estuary and marshes. The reserve is open at all times and entrance is free.
