Broad & Marshes - 6.5 mile walk. ( Unofficial route ) Lowestoft, Suffolk, U.K.

Welcome to Hikeaholics, Chay, Nutty Nanny and Lee here ! Today we’re off to Carlton Colville in Lowestoft, to complete a 6.5 Mile circular walk. We start and finish at the Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve car park, Burnt Hill Lane, Carlton Colville, Lowestoft, NR33 8HU. ( Unofficial route ) From the car park (free but a donation is always appreciated) head towards the Visitor Centre / Cafe / Toilets. We pass the Visitor Centre, which is on our right hand side. We then veer left along the track following the blue arrows. The blue arrows indicate the ‘Marsh Lanes Trail’. We continue following this path and come across a wooden boardwalk. We then come to T-junction where we turn left, still following the blue signs. We come across a path on the right, but we don’t take this yet as we do a loop first, by still following the blue trail. We start the loop by going through the metal gate ahead, which is the Reserve boundary. Then take the left path as we will come back along the right path. The left path crosses the Railway Line and becomes Sprats Water Lane. Continue along to join Marsh Lane. Here, we take a right following the blue signs down Marsh Lane, which runs between Rookery Park Golf Club and the Driving Range. we then cross another Railway Line, which is where Marsh Lane ends and it’s back onto a track. After crossing the track we come across another T-Junction where we turn right. We follow this track back to the metal gate, entering the Nature Reserve once again. We go through the gate and take the left path onto ‘Peto’s Marsh Trail’, identified by the red arrow. We continue on this track all the way down to the River Waveney. At the river we turn right and follow the river until we come to a path on the right. We take this path which is still the red trail and head towards the Visitor Centre. We continue straight until we come across some undulating terrain. Here, we come off the red trail that leads back to the Visitor Centre and onto a gravel path. We go straight on this gravel path, which is 90 degrees left to where we have been walking with the Visitors Centre on our right hand side. We continue for a small distance until we come to a T-Junction, We turn right here onto a grass track and continue along the track with the red trail running parallel to this track on our right hand side. After a short while the wooden capped Flood Defence Wall appears on the left side. We keep following the wall ignoring any signs to turn right. Eventually, we come out onto Oulton Broad, where we continue straight on and arrive at Nicholas Everitt Park. When we get to the Sports Centre we take a left and follow the footpath along the waters edge. We then leave the Park and are on Bridge Road, where we turn right and head along the footpath towards the bridge. At the bridge we take the road on the right hand side of the bridge, which is Marsh Road. We continue along Marsh Road passing in front of the Holiday Park entrance. Marsh Road ends here but we carry on straight, following the Angles Way sign, which takes us through the middle of Broadlands Park and Marina. We continue along Angles Way passing by the Ivy House Hotel. Continue along and follow the Visitor Centre signs. At the T-Junction take a right following the Visitors Centre signs. We follow this path keeping to the left and still following the signs, crossing Burnt Hill Lane. Finally, we take the path back to the Visitor Centre and car park.
