The market town of Thetford resembles something out of the history books. The Little Ouse River weaves its way peacefully through tree-covered greens, between flint stone buildings and under picturesque bridges.
But despite its traditional appearance, this Norfolk town offers all you need for modern living – supermarkets and shops within easy reach, along with a selection of bars and restaurants.
