Walsingham is a rural ward in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, centred on the neighbouring villages of Great Walsingham and Little Walsingham. The area is characterised by rolling arable land, hedgerows and small woods, sitting inland but within easy reach of the coast and market towns such as Fakenham.
It is best known for its long history as a pilgrimage destination - the medieval shrine and priory ruins draw religious visitors and cultural tourists - and that heritage helps sustain a local economy alongside farming and small businesses. Socially the ward comprises small, close-knit communities with regular village events and an influx of visitors at key pilgrimage and festival times.
