Great Bircham is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits on the broad arable plains of west Norfolk and forms one of the trio of Bircham settlements alongside Bircham Newton and Bircham Tofts, retaining a quietly rural character of farms, cottages and village lanes.
The village is best known for the restored 19th‑century Great Bircham Windmill, a working mill and visitor attraction that brings heritage visitors and walkers to the area. Nearby the former RAF airfield at Bircham Newton hints at the locality’s 20th‑century military history, while easy access to the north Norfolk coast and the market town of King's Lynn keeps the village connected to wider economic and leisure opportunities.
