King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Local authority district in Norfolk, England

Coordinates:	52.71, 0.48
OS grid ref:	TF 67 15

King's Lynn and West Norfolk sits on the north‑western edge of Norfolk, running from the tidal flats of The Wash inland over fertile fen and arable countryside. The district is anchored by the historic port town of King's Lynn, where the River Great Ouse and a medieval market layout still shape streets and harbourside activity.

There is a strong historical and cultural feel: the town retains fine old buildings and maritime reminders of Hanseatic trading, while the countryside contains the royal Sandringham estate and Victorian seaside at Hunstanton with its distinctive striped cliffs. Arts and music events, local festivals and a busy market tradition give the area a distinct civic life.

Economically the district combines agriculture, port and logistics activity with tourism and growing renewable‑energy links to the North Sea; small industry and services cluster around King's Lynn. Nature conservation is important too, with reserves such as Titchwell Marsh and Snettisham on the coast and stretches of the Norfolk Coast AONB attracting birdwatchers and walkers, while inland communities retain a largely rural social character.
