You will not find the name Wayland or Breckland on the usual maps but the central market town is Watton, which is situated  on the A1075 (and NR13) between Thetford & Dereham. Two other market towns, Attleborough & Swaffham, make up the complement of the 5 Breckland towns. All these towns, and the many local villages, offer a variety of interest for every kind of visitor.
