Denver is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying on the west bank of the River Great Ouse a short way inland from The Wash in the flat agricultural landscape of the Fens. Its setting of rivers, drains and washland gives it a distinctly Fenland character and makes it a quiet spot for walkers, anglers and birdwatchers.
The village is best known for Denver Sluice and the adjoining pumping station, a key piece of water‑management engineering originally set up in the 17th century and subsequently rebuilt; that infrastructure underpins the surrounding arable economy and stands as a notable piece of local historic and industrial heritage, while the community remains small and rural with typical village amenities.
