Kenninghall is a small village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set amid the open, sandy soils and mixed farmland of the Brecks. It sits on quiet country lanes within easy reach of larger centres such as Thetford and Norwich, retaining a distinctly rural character of woodland, hedgerows and arable fields.
The village has medieval origins and historic links with the Howard family - the site of the former Kenninghall Palace and manor survives as earthworks and parkland and the parish church contains medieval fabric. Today Kenninghall is largely farming‑focused with a pub, village hall and primary school anchoring a close‑knit community; many residents commute to nearby towns while the village preserves a strong sense of local heritage and seasonal events.
