Walpole Marsh is a small, low‑lying settlement in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits in the characteristic reclaimed marsh and fen landscape on the edge of the Fens and close to The Wash, with a patchwork of drainage ditches, dykes and arable fields defining the local geography.
The area has a quietly rural character shaped by centuries of drainage and sea‑defence work, with agriculture still central to the local economy and a surprisingly rich wetland wildlife population that attracts birdwatchers and walkers. Socially it feels like a compact farming community with traditional cottages and farmsteads, and it benefits from proximity to the broader wetland and recreational habitats of the Broads and the Norfolk coast.
