Lound Lakes One of four lakes in the area, all managed by Essex & Suffolk Water. The lakes extend from Yarmouth Road, Lound, to Hopton, further to the east. Dug by hand about 150 years ago, the lakes are owned by Essex & Suffolk Water and are an important source of water for the surrounding area. The water in the lakes comes from rainfall and from underground springs. After treatment at the waterworks, the water is piped to Lowestoft, Belton, Blundeston and Hopton.   None of the lakes is accessible to the public but there is a permit system allowing access to adjoining wood and pasturelands which can be traversed on a number of footpaths, some allowing views across the lakes which also serve as wildlife habitats.
