Massingham with Castle Acre is a largely rural ward in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, centred on the picture‑book village of Castle Acre and the nearby Massingham settlements. The area is characterised by arable farmland, hedged lanes and pockets of ancient woodland, with a strong heritage presence - Castle Acre is famous for its Norman castle and priory ruins which draw walkers and history enthusiasts to the lanes and footpaths around the Nar valley.
Locally the economy remains rooted in agriculture but is supplemented by small-scale tourism, local pubs and craft or farm businesses, and the communities are typically village‑centred with active parish halls and events. Public transport is limited, so life here tends to revolve around village facilities and road links into King's Lynn and West Norfolk and the wider county.
