The village and civil parish of Dersingham lies in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, a few miles inland from the north Norfolk coast and bordering the royal Sandringham Estate. Its landscape is dominated by the lowland heath and bog of Dersingham Bog National Nature Reserve, an important SSSI that supports distinctive heathland flora and birds such as nightjar and marsh harrier.
Historically an agricultural settlement with a medieval parish church, Dersingham today mixes farming with a commuter population and a modest tourist trade thanks to nearby Sandringham and coastal resorts. The village retains an active community life around its primary school, village hall and local clubs, while local businesses and small enterprises serve residents and visitors alike.
