The character of Thetford
The town centre is compact, built around the confluence of the Rivers Thet and Little Ouse, with narrow streets close to the historic core. The A11 bypass keeps through traffic away from the centre, which makes town-centre collections calmer than the road network around them might suggest. Forest-edge roads on the northern and western sides are quieter still, though they can feel remote after dark given the limited lighting.
