Britain By Car - A Motoring History

Hethel

A small village situated about ten miles south of Norwich.  Close to the village church of All Saints is one of the smallest nature reserves in the country.  It consists of just one very old tree, the Hethel Old Thorn, thought to date from the thirteenth century and to be one of the oldest hawthorns in England.
