Tilney, Mershe Lande and Wiggenhall form a largely rural ward in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, set within the low‑lying landscape of The Fens. The area is a scatter of small villages and hamlets rather than a single town, with a strong agricultural character and good road links into King's Lynn and West Norfolk for shops and rail connections.
The landscape is notable for its drained marshes, straight ditches and patchwork arable fields created by historic fen drainage, and that history shows in old parish churches and local place names. Community life revolves around village halls, pubs and parish councils, while wildlife watchers appreciate the wetland birds and quiet tracks for walking and cycling, and many residents commute to larger centres for work.
