Feltwell is a sizeable rural village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits on the edge of the Breckland and fenland landscapes close to the Suffolk border, so the surrounding countryside is a mix of arable farmland, heath and drained fen that attracts walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically agricultural, the village’s character has been shaped in recent decades by the presence of RAF Feltwell and other defence-related facilities, alongside longstanding features such as a medieval parish church, scattered hamlets and historic farmsteads. Local life is typical of a larger Norfolk village, centred on a village hall, school and pub, with a community oriented around seasonal events and the rhythms of farming.
