About

Airfield ward sits on the western edge of King's Lynn, primarily encompassing residential suburbs developed in the latter half of the 20th century. The housing stock is largely composed of detached and semi-detached homes, with estates like Reffley and South Wootton forming its core. It is a functional residential area with local shops, schools, and community facilities serving its population, providing a settled environment away from the town centre's bustle.

The ward's name directly references the former RAF West Winch airfield, a tangible link to its historical role during the Second World War. While the main runway areas have been redeveloped, some perimeter tracks and dispersal points remain subtly integrated into the landscape. Open spaces and playing fields are interspersed throughout, with the larger Reffley Wood offering a tract of mature woodland for recreation on its southern boundary.
