Tharston is a hamlet in the south of Norfolk. The wider parish along with nearby Hapton had a population at 793 at the 2011 census.

The River Tas including tributaries all rise in the same district, and flows to the north, discharging into the east flowing rivers of the county's one city, Norwich.

About the village

Redwings Horse Sanctuary purchased Hapton Hall several years ago and much associated land.

A small industrial estate/distribution estate is in Tharston land, more immediately adjacent to Long Stratton.

During the Victorian era, a small loop line was constructed from nearby Forncett village to the town of Wymondham. The line, some remains visible, crossed the Tas at Tharston so a short viaduct was built.
