Broom Hill & The Dales Overview

This map brings together four small but varied and interesting areas of park and woodland linked by residential roads and paths on the NW side of Ipswich. The map includes the old and sadly disused Broomhill lido. It is suitable for smaller events.

 

Broomhill itself is nicely contoured with a mix of open and wooded terrain. The Dales is a recreational area created from an old brick quarry with complex contouring, steep in places, small ponds, and mixed runnable and thicker vegetation. Also included is a strip of park and woodland across the main Valley Road from Broomhill, and Sherrington Park, a recreation ground which provides a link between Broom Hill and The Dales.
