Emneth is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in eastern Norfolk, England, sitting close to the border with Cambridgeshire and just a few miles from Wisbech. Set on the edge of the The Fens, the landscape is characteristically flat and drained, supporting market gardening and arable farming; many residents commute to nearby towns but the village still keeps a distinctly rural feel with a primary school, village hall and traditional pubs.
Historically the community grew around its medieval parish church and was shaped by fenland drainage and 19th‑century agricultural change; remnants of older brick farmhouses and lanes give it a sense of continuity. The surrounding ditches and wet grasslands are good for wildlife, attracting birdwatchers and walkers, while local events and the village amenities maintain a close-knit social life.
