Whittington is a small village and civil parish in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. Set in the low-lying fenland close to The Wash, it is characterised by flat agricultural landscapes, a network of drainage ditches and quiet country lanes, with easy road links into the market town of King's Lynn and the nearby Norfolk coast.
Historically a farming community with medieval roots, Whittington retains a strong village character with traditional farmhouses, a parish church and local events that sustain community life. The local economy remains largely agricultural, complemented by residents who commute to larger towns; its proximity to coastal saltmarshes and open countryside also makes it appealing to walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
