Bawsey is a small village and civil parish just to the east of King's Lynn in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England. It sits in low-lying, largely agricultural countryside typical of west Norfolk, with open skies, arable fields and a scattering of farmsteads rather than a dense settlement, so residents commonly rely on nearby King's Lynn for shops, schools and services.
The area has a quiet, rural character with roots stretching back many centuries; visitors will notice the vestiges of older settlement in the landscape, including a ruined medieval church and earthworks that hint at a longer history. Economically the parish remains agricultural, while socially it is a small, close-knit community whose tranquillity and open views appeal to walkers, birdwatchers and anyone seeking a taste of Norfolk countryside close to a larger town.
