Southery is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. Set in the low-lying Fens, the surrounding landscape is dominated by drained farmland, ditches and pasture, giving the place a distinctly open, agricultural character.
Historically shaped by peat cutting and 17th–19th century drainage schemes, the local economy remains largely farming-based while some residents commute to nearby market towns such as Downham Market and King's Lynn. Social life is typically village-centred with a close-knit community, occasional local events and easy access to wetland habitats that attract a variety of birdlife and make the area popular for walks and wildlife-watching.
