Some of the top attractions here include Light Cinema Thetford, Snetterton Racing Circuit, Thetford Forest, Dads Army Museum Thetford, Charles Burrell Museum, and Anglesey Abbey. A trip to Thetford, therefore, will never be a boring one, and in case you are planning one, why not consider the idea of glamping for a more unique experience for your next getaway?
