About

Oulton Broad ward centres on the large freshwater lake of the same name, which is Norfolk and Suffolk's most extensive. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces near the water to modern estates further inland. The broad itself is a hub for boating, fishing, and watersports, with several sailing clubs and marinas lining its shores.

The ward includes the northern part of Oulton Broad village, stretching to the edges of Carlton Colville. Its layout is defined by the water, with roads like Bridge Road and Rotterdam Road following the contours of the lake and the connecting Mutford Lock. The heritage railway station on Station Road, serving the Wherry Lines, adds a distinctive character to the local transport links.
