The village and civil parish of Walpole Cross Keys sits in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, tucked into the broad, low-lying landscape of the Fens. It forms part of the cluster of Walpole villages alongside Walpole St Peter and Walpole St Andrew, and is within easy reach of market towns such as King's Lynn and Wisbech.
Life here is shaped by rich, drained fen soils and a long farming tradition: arable and vegetable growing dominate the local economy and the network of dykes and drains gives the area a distinctive pastoral-with-water character and good wildlife interest. The village remains small and community-minded, centred on a church, pub and village hall, with a number of historic farmhouses and a quiet rural atmosphere that reflects its long agricultural history.
