Both of these facts are commemorated by statues in the town. Car hire in Thetford gives you the chance to explore these local landmarks, as well as the freedom to venture into the surrounding Norfolk countryside.
With the beautiful Thetford Forest on your doorstep, hiring a car in Thetford allows you to take a trip into this wilderness and explore the activities on offer.
