Grimston is a small village and civil parish in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits a few miles east of the market town of King's Lynn and is set amid the arable farmland and drained fen landscape that characterises west Norfolk, with easy access to the coast and wider lowland scenery of the area.
The place has long roots - its name reflects Scandinavian influence, essentially meaning "Grimr's farm or settlement" - and the village today mixes older farmhouses and a parish church with more recent homes. Local life is shaped by agriculture and by commuting into nearby towns; community activity typically revolves around a village hall or pub and parish events, while residents value the quiet rural character and proximity to the services and history of King's Lynn.
