The Raynhams is a compact, largely rural ward in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, comprising the small settlements of East Raynham, West Raynham and South Raynham. The landscape is a mix of arable farmland and historic parkland, lying in the countryside between Fakenham and King's Lynn, and it attracts walkers and those interested in traditional country life.
The area is notable for Raynham Hall, the long‑standing seat of the Townshend family, and the large former airfield at RAF West Raynham, which closed in the 1990s and has since seen partial redevelopment. Local life remains dominated by estate and agricultural activity, with a small, close‑knit community and occasional public events and openings connected to the hall and surrounding parkland.
