Wretton is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits close to the Cambridgeshire border and the market town of Downham Market, surrounded by the low-lying Fenland and arable farmland that characterises much of west Norfolk, with quiet lanes and good opportunities for walking and wildlife watching.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a dispersed pattern of farmsteads and a village core; the local economy remains largely agricultural, with many residents now commuting to larger centres such as King's Lynn, Cambridge or Norwich. Social life is typically that of a close-knit rural community, centred on a village hall and occasional local events that preserve a strong sense of local identity.
