About

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.
