Open Access Areas

The following are some of the sites where the new countryside access rights apply:

East Ruston Allotments

(partly within the Broads Authority executive area):
School Road, East Ruston, Norfolk
This is an area of heathland and ponds which is very heavily overgrown with gorse, but there are footpaths criss-crossing the site.
Please use the existing access points.

Herringfleet Hills

Near Somerleyton, Suffolk
This is an area of grass heath and mixed woodland owned by Somerleyton Estates, and currently managed by the Broads Authority as a countryside recreation site. 
From the car park a network of footpaths leads to a viewpoint, with fine views over the Waveney valley, including Herringfleet Mill.

Outney Common

Near Bungay, Suffolk

There are other areas of access land within the Broads. Please check the maps at www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk for details.
