Lound Windmill

Lound Lakes is a 113 hectares (280 acres) nature reserve and series of reservoirs on the border between the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west of Gorleston-on-Sea, 5 miles (8.0 km) north-west of Lowestoft and around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) inland from the North Sea coast, in the parishes of Belton with Browston, Hopton-on-Sea and Lound. It is owned by Essex and Suffolk Water and managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.The lakes were originally created as a result of peat digging in the medieval period. They consist of a number of reservoirs and feed into Fritton Decoy and then to the River Waveney to the west. They have a catchment area of 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi). The catchment is primarily arable land and this leads to nitrate runoff into the lakes, creating issues for water supply and habitat management.Habitats in this site include open water, woodland, grassland, rush pasture and fen meadow. Over 140 bird species have been recorded there, including hobbies, geese, ducks, reed warblers, gadwalls and oystercatchers. Brown long-eared and noctule bats are also present.There is access from various points including Hall Road and Hobland Road.

Lothingland is an area in the English counties of Suffolk and Norfolk on the North Sea coast. It is bound by the River Yare and Breydon Water to the north, the River Waveney to the west and Oulton Broad to the south, and includes the parts of Lowestoft north of Lake Lothing. In antiquity the River Waveney flowed to the sea through Oulton Broad and Lake Lothing, reaching the sea at Lowestoft, meaning that together with the mouth of the River Yare Lothingland was historically an island, and was indeed known as the Island of Lothingland. When the Waveney deviated its course on its current sharp turn to the north this was no longer the case. In 1833 the Norwich and Lowestoft Navigation opened for sea-borne vessels to pass through Oulton Broad and Lake Lothing, the area once again effectively became an island.Historically it formed a half-hundred, which was incorporated into Mutford to form Mutford and Lothingland. A Lothingland Rural District (excluding Lowestoft) in the former county of East Suffolk, existed until 1974. The area was all within the historic county of Suffolk until boundaries were redrawn in 1974 and some of the area was transferred to Norfolk. Local government in Lothingland is now split between the borough of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and East Suffolk District in Suffolk. There is a ward within East Suffolk named Lothingland; the population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 5,479.Lothingland is also the name of a deanery in the Diocese of Norwich.
