Hillington is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, set in the agricultural lowlands of the county. The settlement is made up of scattered farmsteads and cottages and benefits from the open countryside, hedgerows and nearby wetland habitats that characterise much of west Norfolk.
It has medieval roots reflected in a parish church and several historic buildings, and the local economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to larger towns. Community life centres on the church, village hall and occasional local events, so Hillington retains a distinctly rural character while being within easy reach of larger centres.
