Wormegay is a small village and civil parish in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting on the edge of low-lying fenland with open views towards the River Great Ouse. The surrounding landscape is largely agricultural, with arable fields, drainage channels and quiet lanes that give the area a distinctly rural, wide‑open feel.
Despite its modest size the village has visible history: the earthwork remains of a motte‑and‑bailey known as Wormegay Castle and an older parish church reflect a long settlement history. Today it functions as a small farming community with close local ties, attracting walkers and anyone interested in birdlife and local history, while larger market towns are a short drive away for services.
