Walpole Highway is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set in the flat, drained landscape of the The Fens, it forms part of a cluster of settlements locally known as the Walpoles and lies close to neighbours such as Walpole St Peter, Walpole St Andrew and Walpole Cross Keys.
Historically and economically the area is dominated by agriculture, with large arable fields and drainage channels reflecting centuries of fenland reclamation, while socially the village retains a quiet, community‑focused character with local amenities and occasional village events; a handful of historic cottages and village buildings hint at its rural past even as some residents now commute to nearby towns for work.
