Feltwell sits on the curious boundary where the chalky slopes of the Norfolk Breckland dip down into the flat, peat-rich black soil of the Fens. It is a substantial village, notably larger than many of its neighbours, and is defined by a long history that stretches back to Roman times, though today its character is shaped by the proximity of the RAF Feltwell and Lakenheath airbases. The village is anchored by the flint tower of St Mary’s Church, and while the shops and local amenities provide for daily needs, there is a sense of functional self-reliance here. To the east, the landscape quickly shifts into the dense pine plantations of Thetford Forest, offering miles of tracks for walking and cycling, while the village itself remains surrounded by vast, open arable fields. It is a practical, working landscape, often breezy and expansive, situated about ten miles northwest of Thetford and within easy reach of the market town of Brandon.
