Dersingham is an electoral ward within the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, sitting just inland from the coast of The Wash. The area is notable for the lowland heath and glacial sands that form Dersingham Bog National Nature Reserve, a valuable patch of heathland and wetland that attracts birdwatchers and naturalists and lies close to the well‑known Sandringham estate.
Locally the ward feels part village, part commuter belt, with a mix of traditional cottages, Victorian and more recent housing, a handful of shops and community facilities, and a population that often works in nearby King's Lynn or Norwich. The proximity to both important natural sites and a royal estate gives the place a steady flow of visitors alongside its everyday rural life.
