Boughton is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits on the edge of fenland countryside a few miles east of King's Lynn, with relatively easy access to the coast around the Wash and to nearby market towns.
Historically agricultural, the village still shows traditional features such as period cottages, farm buildings and a parish atmosphere, while many residents now commute to larger towns for work. The surrounding lanes, reserves and coastal marshes make it a quiet spot for walking and birdwatching, and local community life centres on occasional events in the village hall and parish activities that reflect Norfolkâs rural heritage.
