About

Oulton Broad West sits on the western shore of the large freshwater lake, Oulton Broad. The area is primarily residential, with streets of houses leading down to the water's edge. The main activity centres around the yacht station and the dykes that connect to the broader Broads network, serving as a base for boating.

A distinctive feature is the direct railway line that runs along the waterfront, with trains passing between the houses and the water. The area is quieter than the eastern side, focused on marina operations and private moorings rather than general tourism. It provides access to the surrounding marshes and the Waveney Forest.
