Foulden is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, Norfolk, England, lying close to the Suffolk border and within easy reach of market towns such as Brandon and Thetford. It sits on the edge of the distinctive The Brecks landscape, with sandy soils, heathland and pine plantations nearby, and the tranquillity of places like Thetford Forest and the River Little Ouse shaping local wildlife interest.
Historically the village retains a medieval parish church and a scatter of old cottages and farmhouses, giving it a quietly historic feel. The local economy is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to surrounding towns, and the area attracts walkers and nature-lovers drawn to its rare habitats and peaceful countryside community life.
