Wiggenhall St. Germans lies in the low-lying fenland a few miles south of King's Lynn, within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. The landscape is defined by the winding channels of the River Great Ouse and a network of drainage dykes, giving the area fertile arable land and the characteristic flat horizons that lead out towards The Wash.
Historically the community grew up around river transport and farming, and the village still centres on a medieval parish church and a scattering of historic farmhouses. Today it remains largely agricultural with some commuting to larger towns, while visitors and locals appreciate the quiet rural character, wildlife-rich waterways and the strong sense of continuity with the fenland past.
