Snetterton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, Norfolk, England, set in the open arable landscape typical of the Brecks with sandy soils, pockets of heath and nearby pine plantations. The area retains a rural feel with a compact village core, historic parish roots and easy access to larger towns and the city of Norwich and the market town of Thetford.
What really marks Snetterton out is the famous Snetterton Circuit, a racing venue developed on a former Second World War airfield which brings motorsport events, tourism and related business to the local economy and community life. Beyond the racing scene, the parish’s character remains strongly agricultural and recreational, with nearby tracts of distinctive Breckland habitat and countryside popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
