West Walton is a village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits on the western edge of The Fens, close to the border with Cambridgeshire, and is within easy reach of market towns such as Wisbech and King's Lynn, giving it a semi-rural character with good road links to larger centres.
The parish has a long agricultural tradition shaped by fenland drainage and arable farming, with a small local economy of farms, contractors and rural enterprises and many residents who commute to nearby towns. Historic buildings and a medieval parish church reflect a deep local history, while village life is maintained through community events, a village hall and informal networks typical of small Norfolk settlements.
