Oulton is a small village and civil parish in East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits a short distance west of Lowestoft and close to Oulton Broad, giving easy access to the waterways and reed-fringed marshes of The Broads as well as quiet rural lanes and farmland.
Traditionally agricultural, the village blends historic cottages and farmsteads with a modest commuter population who work in nearby towns; leisure boating, fishing and birdwatching around the broad and marshes contribute to a small local tourist economy. Social life tends to revolve around the village church, hall and occasional community events, and the buildings and landscape still reflect centuries of rural Suffolk life.
