Docking is a small village and civil parish in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles inland from the north Norfolk coast. It retains a traditional village feel with a green, a historic parish church and an assortment of flint cottages and later housing that reflect its long history.
Surrounded by arable farmland, the local economy remains largely rural with many residents commuting to King's Lynn or beyond; its proximity to the coast brings modest tourist trade and walkers visiting nearby reserves. Community life is active for a village of its size, centred on the village hall, the pub and regular fetes and clubs that sustain a strong local identity.
