Gayton is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, sitting a few miles east of King's Lynn on the gently rolling arable landscape of west Norfolk. It occupies a rural setting of hedged fields and lanes and has relatively straightforward road links to the nearby town, with the city of Norwich and the Norfolk coast within reasonable driving distance.
The village has a long history reflected in its parish church and a mix of traditional flint and brick cottages alongside larger houses; historically agriculture has shaped the local economy, while nowadays many residents commute to nearby towns. Community life remains active with a village hall and local events that help maintain a strong sense of traditional rural identity even as small numbers of commuters and retirees settle in the area.
