Walpole is a quiet, dispersed fenland parish in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set on flat, fertile lowlands not far from The Wash. The area is dominated by arable farmland, drainage ditches and low hedgerows, with traditional brick and thatched buildings and the twin villages of Walpole St Peter and Walpole St Andrew forming the local hubs.
Historically shaped by medieval settlement and the extensive draining of the Fens, the parish still centres on farming and small rural enterprises but also attracts birdwatchers and walkers for its open skies and wildlife-rich ditches. Local life is village-oriented with parish churches, community events and a slow-paced character that reflects the longstanding agricultural economy and landscape.
