The scenic beauty of Lound Lakes makes it worth a visit at any time of the year, but summer is undoubtedly the best time for your first visit.

From June onwards, the fields around the lakes turn red as vast swathes of sheep’s sorrel come into flower and skylarks flute overhead. Across the surface of the lakes, white and yellow water lilies burst into flower, beautifully framed by the majestic Scots pines on the valley sides.

This is undoubtedly one of the best places in Suffolk to watch damselflies and dragonflies and to witness the aerial ambushes of hobby in deadly pursuit. On the fields, green woodpeckers feed on the ant colonies which thrive in the dry sandy soil.

With plenty of food in the lakes, this is a great place to see kingfisher all year round. Osprey visit in the spring and autumn and bittern drop in for the winter.

N Lound Lakes is an important part of our water supply network and in partnership with Essex & Suffolk Water, Suffolk Wildlife Trust cares for the 230 acres of wildlife habitat around the lakes. By working together we can ensure the quality of our drinking water and create a wildlife haven everyone can enjoy.

You can help us protect this special site by ensuring your home is water efficient, so we abstract the minimum amount of water possible.
