About

Ditchingham & Earsham ward encompasses a rural area of South Norfolk characterised by farmland, the River Waveney, and scattered settlements. The landscape is largely agricultural, with fields and hedgerows defining the scenery. The ward includes the distinct villages of Ditchingham and Earsham, along with the smaller hamlet of Broome. The presence of the river and the historic Broome Heath, with its extensive walking trails, provides a focus for local recreation and natural interest.

The area is connected to the market town of Bungay by the A143 road, which runs along the ward's edge. Ditchingham is notably home to the All Hallows Hospital, a significant local institution.
