Runcton Holme is a small, low-lying rural parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England, sitting on the fen‑edge beside the River Great Ouse. The landscape is characteristically flat and agricultural, criss-crossed by drains and dykes, with quiet riverside lanes and good opportunities for birdwatching and peaceful walks a few miles from the market town of King's Lynn.
It has long agricultural roots and a modest but active local community centred on village events and the parish church, reflecting medieval origins without being heavily touristic. The local economy remains largely farm‑based, though many residents commute to nearby towns for work, giving the parish a mix of traditional rural life and modern connections.
