Methwold is a 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 reclaimed The Fens, occupying a largely flat, agricultural landscape of arable fields, drainage channels and a mix of traditional and more modern housing.
Historically a farming community with roots stretching back into the medieval period, Methwold still centres on local amenities such as a primary school, village hall, shops and pubs, and has an active community life with clubs and events. The local economy remains mainly agricultural with many residents commuting to larger towns, while nearby wetland habitats and historic buildings contribute to its rural character.
