Walpole Cross Keys is a small fenland village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits in the low-lying agricultural landscape typical of the Fenlands, not far from the tidal estuaries of The Wash, with a network of drains, drains and small lanes that reflect centuries of land drainage and reclamation.
Today the village is characterised by farming and a quiet, close‑knit community with the nearest larger services in King's Lynn. The surrounding wetlands and ditches are of interest to birdwatchers and naturalists, while the area's history of 17th–19th century drainage and rural trade gives the village the gently historic, working‑landscape feel common to Norfolk's fen villages.
