Ringstead is a small coastal village and civil parish on the north Norfolk coast, within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. Perched beside saltmarshes with views across The Wash, it combines a shingle foreshore and agricultural hinterland, and is valued by walkers and birdwatchers for its quiet coastal paths and wide estuary vistas; the larger seaside town of Hunstanton lies nearby.
Historically the settlement has long agricultural roots, and today the local economy mixes farming with small-scale tourism and holiday accommodation; vernacular buildings and earthworks hint at centuries of coastal life. Conservation of the shoreline and saltmarsh, together with a desire to retain the village’s rural character, are recurring local themes that shape community activity and visits to the wider Norfolk coast and The Wash bird habitats.
