Clenchwarton is a small village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits on the west bank of the River Great Ouse, just across from King's Lynn, and occupies the low-lying fen and drainage landscape that frames the approach to The Wash. The village has medieval roots visible in its parish church and older buildings, reflecting a long agricultural heritage shaped by the reclamation and drainage of surrounding marshes.
Today Clenchwarton combines farming and small local businesses with a commuter population travelling to nearby King's Lynn and Norwich, while community life centres on village events, the church and a village hall; the fenland setting also makes it pleasant for birdwatching and riverside walks. Its blend of historic character and convenient links to regional centres gives it the feel of a traditional Norfolk village adapting to modern life.
