Walsoken is a village and civil parish in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, lying immediately west of the Fenland town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. It occupies low-lying drained fenland close to the River Nene, so the landscape is a mix of arable farmland and suburban housing and the settlement is now largely contiguous with Wisbech despite remaining administratively separate.
The parish has a small historic core with a parish church and older buildings that hint at its long rural past; fen drainage and agriculture have shaped the local economy, while today many residents commute to nearby towns and there is light industry and market activity centred on neighbouring Wisbech. Socially it keeps a village feel with local community groups and events, yet benefits from the amenities and transport links of the larger town next door.
