Methwold is a rural village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits where low-lying fenland meets the sandy soils of the Brecks, so the surrounding agricultural landscape and patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and drainage channels strongly shape local life and scenery.
The community retains a noticeable village feel with a medieval parish church, village hall, local pub and small businesses supporting farming and services; there are also good opportunities for walking and birdwatching in the nearby fens and heath. Historic buildings and a steady programme of community events and clubs give Methwold a close-knit social character typical of west Norfolk parishes.
