Northwold is a village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It lies on the eastern edge of the Breckland landscape and is surrounded by arable farmland and pockets of older woodland, giving it a distinctly rural, agricultural character while remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns.
The settlement has medieval roots - the name reflects Old English origins, with "wold" relating to wooded upland - and community life still centres on the parish church, village hall and local pub. The local economy is largely farming-based, though many people commute to larger centres; remnants of rural transport history can be found if you look closely. Overall Northwold is a quiet, community-minded village typical of West Norfolk.
