Wereham is a compact Fenland village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England, set on low-lying agricultural land not far from the River Wissey and within easy reach of Downham Market and the larger town of King's Lynn. The surrounding flat landscape of the Fens gives the village its open character and makes farming the dominant land use.
Although small, Wereham has historic roots and a traditional village centre with a parish church and community amenities; local life tends to revolve around farming, a modest commuter population and parish activities such as village halls and seasonal fetes. Its quiet rural feel, proximity to Fenland waterways and links to nearby market towns make it typical of west Norfolk village life.
