Broom Hill is a small hill located in the county of Suffolk, England. Situated near the town of Ipswich, it forms part of the undulating landscape of the area. While not a mountain by any means, it is considered a notable feature due to its distinct elevation when compared to the surrounding flat terrain.

At approximately 62 meters (203 feet) above sea level, Broom Hill offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a popular spot for visitors and locals alike. The hill is covered in lush green vegetation, with patches of woodland scattered across its slopes. These woodlands are home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, rabbits, and squirrels, providing a tranquil environment for nature enthusiasts.

Broom Hill is accessible via several footpaths that wind their way up to the summit. These paths provide a leisurely and scenic way to reach the top, allowing walkers to enjoy the picturesque surroundings. The hill is also a favorite spot for hikers and runners who seek a moderate challenge and the opportunity to enjoy the fresh country air.

Due to its close proximity to Ipswich, Broom Hill is easily reachable from the town, making it a popular destination for day trips. Visitors can explore the hill's natural beauty, take in the panoramic views, or simply relax in the peaceful atmosphere. With its idyllic setting and gentle incline, Broom Hill offers a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
