The parish of Freethorpe sits in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England. Set in the flat, low-lying countryside typical of the area, it lies near the wetland landscape of The Broads and within easy reach of larger centres such as Norwich and Great Yarmouth, which many residents use for work and services.
Freethorpe is a small, largely agricultural community with a historic village core and a number of older buildings including the parish church and local memorials. Local life revolves around farming, small enterprises and community activities in the village hall, while the surrounding rivers and marshes make the parish attractive to walkers and birdwatchers seeking the quieter side of Norfolk.
