Oulton Dyke

Oulton Dyke

Oulton Dyke is a freshwater stretch of water in the Suffolk Broads.

The dyke, wholly in Suffolk, connects Oulton Broad near Lowestoft to the River Waveney, which forms the border with Norfolk. The river's confluence with the Waveney is near the village of Burgh St Peter.

Oulton Dyke is approximately a mile long, and from Oulton Broad heads west then after some 400 yards makes a sharp turn to the north to join with the River Waveney. The name 'Oulton Dyke' is rarely used by boaters, it seems, because it is frequently treated as a mere part of the River Waveney.
