Setchey is a small village on the rural edge of the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, lying just a few miles from King's Lynn. It sits on the low‑lying, agricultural fen country that characterises much of west Norfolk and is best known locally as a quiet, residential settlement close to larger town amenities.
Historically the area grew up around farming and fen drainage, and that agricultural heritage still shapes the landscape and local economy; today many residents commute into King's Lynn while the village retains a handful of older cottages and a compact, community feel. The flat surroundings, drainage ditches and nearby wetland habitats make it a tidy base for country walks and for those interested in the quieter side of Norfolk life.
