Fulmodeston is a large parish in the north of the county of Norfolk, and is 6.6 miles east of the nearst town of Fakenham. The now expanded parish of Fulmodeston was formed by the amalgamation of several smaller parishes of Clipstone, Croxton, and Barney.

The parish is bounded to the North by parish of Thursford, east by Swanton Novers and west by Kettlestone the southern boundary of the parish is with the parishes of Stibbard and Wood Norton. The village is centered on the crossroads of two lanes which run north to south and east to west. The village is surrounded by arable farmland.
