King's Lynn and West Norfolk

King's Lynn and West Norfolk covers coastal and inland terrain on the north-west edge of Norfolk. The district includes the Wash, a broad tidal bay with extensive salt marshes and mudflats that shape the shoreline and local fisheries. King's Lynn sits at the mouth of the River Great Ouse and retains a port layout and a medieval market core; the Tuesday Market Place has hosted stalls since the Middle Ages and the 17th-century Custom House stands on the quayside. Hunstanton faces the Wash and is notable for its red-and-white striped cliffs that run along the seafront.

Settlements range from the town centre of King's Lynn to market towns such as Downham Market and coastal villages like Brancaster and Heacham. Agriculture, ports and tourism form major parts of the local economy, and the pattern of parishes, estuaries and drained fenland fields reflects centuries of land management. The district contains managed reserves and birdwatching points along the Wash, where tides and mudflats attract waders and migratory species, and the road and rail links connect the area to the rest of Norfolk.
