Broom Hill is a picturesque hill located in Suffolk, England. Situated in the eastern region of the country, this naturally formed hill is known for its scenic beauty and breathtaking views. Though referred to as a hill, Broom Hill is not particularly large or steep, more resembling a small rise in the landscape rather than a true mountain.

The hill is covered in lush greenery, with a variety of trees and plants dotting its slopes. It is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, offering numerous trails and paths to explore. As visitors ascend the hill, they are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including rolling hills, farmland, and quaint villages in the distance.

Broom Hill is also known for its historical significance. In the past, it served as a vantage point for the local communities, providing a strategic location to observe the surrounding area. Today, remnants of this history can still be seen, with the remains of an old defensive wall at the top of the hill.

In addition to its natural beauty and historical value, Broom Hill is home to a diverse range of wildlife. Various species of birds, including the red kite and barn owl, can be spotted soaring through the skies above. Rabbits, squirrels, and other small mammals are also frequently seen scurrying amongst the undergrowth.

Whether one is looking to enjoy a leisurely walk, take in stunning views, or immerse themselves in nature, Broom Hill in Suffolk offers a delightful and peaceful experience for all who visit.

Floral delights in field at Mill Street The summer of 1996 will be forever remembered by me as the year of red poppies.  They seemed to be everywhere and lasted for many weeks.
