Lound is a small rural parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, in the gentle Fenland country on the county border with Norfolk. It sits close to the River Waveney and the edge of the Norfolk Broads, and is known locally for its series of water bodies, often called Lound Lakes - former gravel workings and reservoirs that are now important reedbeds and wildlife havens.
The settlement has a long agricultural history and a small, close‑knit community; many people now commute to nearby towns such as Lowestoft and Beccles while the surrounding landscape attracts birdwatchers and anglers. Historic estates and model villages nearby, notably at Somerleyton, add to the sense of layered history and make the area a quiet mix of working countryside and low‑key rural tourism.
