Oulton Broad refers to both the lake and the suburb of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England, located two miles (3 km) west of the centre of the town. ==Oulton Broad== Oulton Broad is an expanse of water and marsh which forms part of the network of man-made bodies of water known as The Broads. It is believed to be the remnant of medieval peat cutting.〔(Oulton Broad ), Heritage gateway. Retrieved 2011-05-05.〕 To the east it is linked by a lock to Lake Lothing which passes through the centre of Lowestoft and opens into the North Sea. To the west it is linked by Oulton Dyke to the River Waveney. The Broad is the most southern area of open water in the Broads system, and is a busy tourist and sporting centre. It is used for a variety of watersports, including powerboat racing, and as the base for boat hire.〔Lowestoft and Oulton Broad Motor Boat Club (Powerboat racing ). Retrieved 2009-11-25.〕 Facilities include a yacht station and moorings as well as a 'village' of holiday chalets. Nicholas Everitt Park has an extensive water frontage. It is one of the few broads with residential areas adjacent, with houses to the north and flats to the east. The north side of the Broad is one of the most expensive residential areas in Lowestoft, with large detached houses having lake frontage. While the eastern and north shores of the Broad are built up, the west and south-west are quiet and natural. This part of the lake can be reached on foot by walking through Nicholas Everitt Park and then by public footpaths and field across White Cast Marshes, an important nature conservation area. The population of the Lowestoft ward called Oulton Broad was 4,619 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lowestoft Ward population 2011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oulton Broad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
