Hockwold cum Wilton is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England, set on the edge of the fertile The Fens near the border with Suffolk. It has a dispersed, rural character shaped by arable farming and estate land, giving wide views across low-lying countryside.
The settlement is best known for Hockwold Hall, a manor with centuries of history, and for the nearby former wartime airfield RAF Hockwold, reminders of both local heritage and 20th‑century military use. Today farming remains the economic backbone, while the parish church, occasional village events and the historic buildings attract walkers and local history enthusiasts.
