About Fencing in Thetford
Thetford in Norfolk sits at the heart of Breckland, a landscape of thin sandy soil over chalk that once made the town one of the largest in medieval England, home to a priory and briefly a cathedral seat before its decline. Large scale pine forests were planted across the surrounding sandy heaths in the twentieth century, creating today's Thetford Forest.
