Denver is a small village and civil parish in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits beside the River Great Ouse, dominated by the notable Denver Sluice, a key piece of water-management infrastructure that controls levels across much of The Fens and makes the locality popular for riverside walks, fishing and birdwatching.
Historically the settlement is tied to fen drainage and navigation, and the surrounding landscape remains largely agricultural with arable farming the mainstay. The village retains traditional Norfolk features - a parish church and a nearby tower windmill - and quietly serves as a gateway for visitors heading towards the market town of King's Lynn or exploring the fenland wildlife and heritage.
