Stow Bridge is a small riverside hamlet in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits on the low-lying Fenland close to the banks of the River Great Ouse and within easy reach of the mudflats of The Wash, its name reflecting the long-standing importance of a local bridge and river crossing to nearby communities.
The settlement has a distinctly rural character: the local economy and landscape are shaped by arable farming, drainage and river management, and the area is popular with walkers, anglers and birdwatchers who come for the wetland wildlife and wide skies. For shops, services and larger historic attractions people generally travel into King's Lynn, while socially the hamlet retains the quiet, close-knit feel common to many small Norfolk river communities.
